The Battle of Franklin was the most tragic chapter of the Army of Tennessee. These were battle-hardened veterans. They knew the enemy they faced and the strength of their defenses. Honor, Valor, Patriotism, Devotion to Duty, and the Spirit of Self Sacrifice were never more evident than here at Franklin.
Their names are written in stone and blood.
