submitted 98 years ago by ch. 248 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 93 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

States whose troops fought at Fort Donelson can enter the battlefield to mark where their troops fought. Before making any markers permanent, the state must show its plan to the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary must approve the plan in writing first.

This section lets states mark where their troops fought. Any state that had troops in the Battle of Fort Donelson may send its officials onto the battlefield's lands and approaches, to figure out and mark the lines of battle where those troops fought. But there's a condition. Before any of these battle lines are permanently marked, the state must first submit the proposed positions and the proposed method of marking them — whether by monuments, tablets, or something else — to the Secretary of the Interior. The state cannot make the markers permanent until the Secretary approves the plan in writing.
