Book Synopsis The Battle of Franklin by : A. S. Peterson
Download or read book The Battle of Franklin written by A. S. Peterson. This book was released on 2017-08-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 30th, 1864, more than 40,000 Union and Confederate troops converged on Franklin, Tennessee, and fought one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Said one who saw it, "It was as if the devil had full possession of the earth." The events of that battle have passed not only into history, but into legend. Names like Tod Carter and John Bell Hood have found their ways into our poems and songs and folk tales. But what do these stories have to say to us today? Through the power of music and drama, this original work takes us back in time to witness the tragic struggle between father and son, between master and slave, between North and South. It's a tale of a broken family and a broken nation. But in the end, the story of the Battle of Franklin is about more than mere history--it's about the conflict in all of us, and our hope of restoration.

Download or read book The Battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864 written by R. W. Banks. This book was released on 2015-06-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864: The Bloodiest Engagement of the War Between the States The battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864, was, on some parts of the line, the bloodiest of the Civil War. Never on any field did braver men go. Nor did men ever dare and do more than was done by the Confederates to whom it fell to bear the heat and burden of that fateful day. That much will be demonstrated in the following narrative so plainly that the assertion may hereafter be accepted as a historic truth; for no statement of material fact will be made which the writer is not prepared to authenticate. To place a proper estimate upon the prowess of the Army of Tennessee at Franklin it is necessary to keep in mind its antecedents, in the then recent past.

Book Synopsis The Battle of Franklin: Twilight of the Army of Tennessee by : James A. Crutchfield
Download or read book The Battle of Franklin: Twilight of the Army of Tennessee written by James A. Crutchfield. This book was released on 2010-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For five hours on November 30, 1864, Union and Confederate forces faced each other at Franklin, Tennessee. General John Bell Hood commanded thirty to forty thousand tired, poorly equipped soldiers. His foe was General John M. Schofield and twenty-one thousand troops of the Union Army. Schofield had reached town at 3:00 AM. By the time advance elements of Hoods army arrived, Union engineers had built a system of earthworks that surrounded the town. Between 3:00 and 4:00 PM, Hood made his infamous decision to attack Schofield. At battles end, the Confederates had suffered around 7,300 casualties while Union numbers exceeded 2,500. Bloody Franklin plunged its sleepy namesake town and the roundabout countryside into an economic and psychological depression, from which it took years to recover. The Army of Tennessee was a mainstay of the Confederate war machine, and, at Franklin, it was severely weakened, setting the stage for its defeat at Nashville two weeks later.
