The Battle of Island Number Ten was an engagement at the New Madrid or Kentucky Bend on the Mississippi River during the American Civil War, lasting from February 28 to April 8, 1862. Island Number Ten, a small island at the base of a tight double turn in the river, was held by the Confederates from the early days of the war. It was an excellent site to impede Union efforts to invade the South by the river, as ships had to approach the island bows on and then slow to make the turns. For the defenders, however, it had an innate weakness in that it depended on a single road for supplies and reinforcements. If an enemy force managed to cut that road, the garrison would be isolated and eventually be forced to surrender.

  • La bataille d'Island Number Ten se déroule entre le 28 février et le 8 avril 1862, sur le Mississippi, près de New Madrid, durant la Guerre de Sécession. Cette île fortifiée est un verrou posé par les sudistes pour contrôler la navigation sur le fleuve. L'armée du Mississippi (unioniste) du major general John Pope cherche à prendre le contrôle du fleuve, en allant vers l'aval. Il lui faudra un mois pour faire sauter ce verrou. (fr)

  • De Slag bij Island Number Ten vond plaats tussen 28 februari en 8 april 1862 nabij de New Madrid Bend of Kentucky Bend op de Mississippi tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. De locatie van het eiland bij het begin van een dubbele bocht in de rivier werd in de eerste maanden van de oorlog bezet door Zuidelijke troepen. Deze plaats was van strategisch belang om een eventuele Noordelijke invasie via de rivier tegen te houden. Ieder schip moest via deze bochten varen en moest nog vaart minderen ook om geen averij op te lopen. Het zwakke punt in de zuidelijke verdediging was dat er maar één weg naar dit punt liep. Wanneer de vijand deze weg zou bezetten, zou de bevoorrading effectief afgesneden zijn. Het garnizoen zou gevangenzitten. (nl)
