| The CIVIL WAR in TIPTONVILLE, TENNESSEE |
|
|
CAPTURE OF ISLAND NO. 10 Covered by Federal gunboats, Major General John Pope landed part of his army of 25,000 on the west shore of Madrid Bend, outflanking Confederate defenses, causing abandonment of the island. Brigadier General W W Mackall, retreating south, finding himself cut off by gunboats and high water, surrendered the remnant of the Confederate force on the northern outskirts of Tiptonville. |
|
|
CONFEDERATE BURIALS In this cemetery, following the siege and capture of Madrid Bend and Island No. 10, about 75 Confederate dead were interred. Others were buried on the island itself. Channel changes have now joined the island to Missouri. |
|
|
|
CONFEDERATE FORT & BATTERIES About 1-1/4 miles NE, now under water, a redoubt housed mainland defense headquarters for Island No. 10. It was flanked by Batteries 2,3,4 & 5, commanding the river. Successfully withstanding bombardment for two weeks, these and the island batteries interdicted the river until USS Carondelet and Pittsburg slipped past during darkness to cover Pope's crossing from New Madrid. |
