What Federal fort was captured by Confederate volunteers in 1861?

Fort Henry and Fort Donelson were captured by General US Grant early in 1862. It was after the second victory, at Donelson, that US Grant demanded 'Unconditional Surrender' - a new phrase that caught the public imagination, made Grant famous overnight, and left him with a nickname that chimed favorably with 'U.S.' - his own initials, as well as his country's. It should be noted that very often US Grant granted parole to captured Confederate soldiers. The so-called "unconditional surrender" idea was a practice that was only sometimes used by the Union and by the South.
