It was Sunday morning, and many military personnel had been given passes to attend religious services off base. At 7:02 a.m., two radio operators spotted large groups of aircraft in flight toward the island from the north, but, with a flight of B-17s expected from the United States at the time, they were told to sound no alarm.
This week we explore a little Civil War History and we are pleased to have a guest host on this episode. John Walsh of Fort Donelson Relics joins us as we talk to Ranger and Historian Jim Jobe at the Fort Donelson National Battlefield Park. It was great because you have 2 people that field questions all the time about the area, movements, people like Jack Henson and the campaign.
