Photographer: Brandon Stahl
Caption: Before the Battle of Nashville
Additional Description: Union troops wait outside of Nashville, ready to move against John Bell Hood's weary and weathered army. Well supplied with ample shelter, weapons, and ammunition, the Federal Forces also had the cold winter on their side, as many of the opposing Confederates lacked food, coats, tents, and shoes. Hood's army also had lost four times as many men than the Federals at the preceding Battle of Franklin, reducing them to the brink of destruction.
