Through Their Eyes
Experience the Battles of Spring Hill and Franklin in the very words of the men who fought here and the citizens who witnessed the battles and their aftermath!
March north along the Columbia turnpike with Lt. Ambrose Bierce and watch Confederate campfires burn across the hillside just north of Rippa Villa. Parch corn with Lt. George Estes that same night while Yankees are “skedaddling pretty lively” within earshot.
Stand on the Federal line near the Carter cotton gin at Franklin with Pvt. Adam Weaver as the army makes final preparations to receive the Confederate onslaught. Follow Col. Marcus Stephens across the fields of Carnton amidst galling artillery attack to plant the colors on the enemy line. And faithfully tend the wounded alongside Fannie Courtney and Dr. Deering Roberts.
Brief biographical sketches introduce you to each author, and battlefield maps place their accounts on the field so that you can stand where they stood as you read their words. These firsthand accounts are invaluable in the stories we tell, and we are pleased to be able to make them accessible to you!
