At this exact moment, I am more interested in the Battle of Franklin....which was the "Gettysburg of the West".....
Being that I am participating in the 140th Anniv. Reenactment in about two weeks :)

Wow, cool! We visited the Franklin field a couple of times while we lived in Manchester, TN. Nightmarish.

I agree. I've been to Franklin, visited the Carter House and toured what's left of the battlefield.

I can't possibly imagine the sound, horror and bloodshed when the Confederates assaulted the Union lines.
