16 U.S.C. § 428p — Fort Donelson National Battlefield

(a) Designation; purpose This subsection makes the Fort Donelson National Battlefield an official unit of the National Park System. It exists to commemorate two things: the Battle of Fort Donelson, fought in February 1862, and the military campaign led by General Ulysses S. Grant and Admiral Andrew H. Foote that ended with Union forces capturing Fort Donelson. (b) Boundaries This subsection sets the battlefield's boundaries. They cover the site of Fort Donelson and the land around it that the Secretary of the Interior has acquired for the National Park Service to run, including the Fort Donelson National Cemetery, in Stewart County, Tennessee. They also cover the site of Fort Heiman and its surrounding land in Calloway County, Kentucky. The exact boundaries are shown on a specific map — "Fort Donelson National Battlefield Boundary Adjustment," numbered 328/80024 and dated September 2003. That map is kept on file and available for the public to look at in National Park Service offices. (c) Expansion of boundaries This subsection says the battlefield will also include any land the Secretary acquires under section 428p–1, which covers future land purchases.
