In 1862, Island No. 10 (so named because it was the tenth island south of the junction of the Ohio River with the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois) was a natural fortress. Approximately 1 mile long, 450 yards wide, and about 10 feet above low water in the middle of the channel, it straddled the boundaries of the states of Tennessee, Missouri, and Kentucky.
