The Union launches its first campaign in retaking and reopening the Mississippi River from the Confederates. Their first major obstacle in this great and daunting undertaking are the Confederate strongholds at Island Number Ten and New Madrid, Missouri. Union Brigadier General John Pope, commanding the Army of the Mississippi, must eliminate these two strategic defensive points on the Mississippi River in cooperation with Flag Officer Andrew H. Foote’s Western Flotilla if the Union is to achieve its crucial first step in the campaign to reopen the mighty river to Union traffic.
