This report describes the results of a visitor study at Fort Donelson National Battlefield during July 3 – July 22, 2007 by the National Park Service (NPS) Visitor Services Project (VSP), part of the Park Studies Unit (PSU) at the University of Idaho. Fort Donelson National Battlefield near Dover, Tennessee, was established on March 26, 1928. The park is the site of the battle in which Ulysses S. Grant captured Fort Donelson, Fort Henry and Fort Heiman in February, 1862. Grant became known for his words, “No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted," in forcing Brigadier General Simon Bolivar Buckner to surrender. The Union had won its first big victory of the Civil War.
