General Grant that same evening had a very different view of the situation. Though it had been a near-run thing, Grant was convinced he now had the upper hand going into the second day. Overnight the long awaited 7,000-man 3rd Division under Lew Wallace finally arrived as well as 15,000 more men under Major General Don Carlos Buell. The advantage in numbers was now firmly on the Union side with Grant able to field 40,000 men against Beauregard's less than 30,000. Grant knew this and it was his intention to strike back and hard. Thus the second day would begin with one general blindly predicting victory over a helpless foe who in fact now far outnumbered him and was led by a man hell-bent on bringing the fight back to the Confederates. The tide of battle had turned...
Gunboat Lexington which shelled Confederates from Tennessee River.
