APPENDIX A
Order of Battle and
Casualties
T HE ORDER OF BATTLE FOR BOTH SIDES IS NOT A MATTER OF PRECISE SCI- ence, but an art form of sorts. Neither commander appears to have kept meticulous records; if there were any, they have been lost to history.
Grants headquarters left a list of regiments assigned to brigades that actually took part in the battle. Those commanders who were able wrote postbattle accounts, which were eventually placed in the Official Records. From these entries, one can determine the aggregate strength of the units and their losses. Not included in the following tables are the several regiments that arrived at Fort Donelson too late to see action or be included in the official reports, nor are the units sent to reinforce Fort Henry as Grant enveloped Fort Donelson, since these regiments did not fire in anger.
Confederate records are sketchier, presumably because records were not kept during the chaotic rush to reinforce Fort Donelson, or perhaps they were destroyed to prevent capture. Confederate infantry units above regimental level were rarely given numerical designations. The Fort Donelson campaign is an exception of sorts. When General Pillow organized the defense, he assigned a number to each brigade. In practice, the brigades were known as and recorded by the commanders names. All narrative references to units listed here follow that procedure.
By and large, the Official Records have been used to tabulate strength and losses, but personal accounts were used to fill in the gaps. Numbers given in parentheses are approximations.
APPENDIX B
Transports/Auxiliary
Vessels
T HE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF SUPPORT VESSELS MENTIONED IN THE OFFICIAL and unit records. It is not necessarily all-inclusive. During the Fort Henry operation, there was an acute shortage of transports. More boats were available by the time of Fort Donelson. All of these boats were the backbone of the river trade prior to the war and the river operations during the conflict. Refer to Ways Packet Directory for their individual history.
