16 U.S.C. § 428e — Lands acquired declared national battlefield; name

submitted 98 years ago by ch. 248 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 82 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Once Tennessee gives up jurisdiction and the U.S. confirms clear title, the land becomes official. This includes the land already inside the Fort Donelson National Cemetery. The whole area is named the Fort Donelson National Battlefield.

This section formally creates the Fort Donelson National Battlefield. Two things have to happen first. The Legislature of the State of Tennessee must cede (give up) its jurisdiction over the land. And the Attorney General of the United States must report that the United States has acquired a perfect title (clear legal ownership) to it. Once both happen, the land acquired under sections 428 through 428d and 428e through 428i of this title is officially declared a national battlefield. This includes the area already enclosed within the national cemetery at the Fort Donelson battlefield. Together, this land is named the Fort Donelson National Battlefield.
