Battle of the Cumberland Gap (June 1862)
:''For other engagements of the same name, see Battle of Cumberland Gap (disambiguation).''
The June 1862 capture of the Cumberland Gap was a Union victory during the American Civil War leading to Union occupation of the Cumberland Gap for three months.
==Background==
The Confederates held a long line of fortifications across Kentucky, Tennessee and into Missouri under Albert Sidney Johnston. The center of Johnston's defenses was Bowling Green, KY with the left flank anchored at Island No. 10 on the Mississippi River and the right held by Brig. Gen. Felix Zollicoffer at the Cumberland Gap.〔Nevin p.54〕
In early 1862 the Union Army had met with great success in the Western Theater. A string of victories at Mill Springs, Fort Donelson and Island No. 10 had broken the Confederate defenses at several key points.
