Wellington C. Wells: February 17, 1862

Feb. 17th Monday Rainy all day. Mud deep all day. Stayed in the tent most all day. The fight still continues at Fort Donaldson. Our troops have got possession of part of the Fort. 7:00 camp all in an uproar. The whole regiment are firing, drums are beating, and we are playing Star Spangled Banner. Fort Donaldson is taken with all it contained. Three or four Generals and 15,000 troops hurrah.
