FEBRUARY 16TH, 1862: Gunboats of Flag Officer Foote's force destroyed the "Tennessee Iron Works" above Dover on the Cumberland River.
General McClellan wired Flag officer Foote from Washington: "Sorry you are wounded. How seriously? Your conduct was magnificent. With what force do you return? I send nearly 600 sailors to you to-morrow."
