Battle Of Franklin

The Battle of Franklin took place during the night of November 30, 1864 and left 9,500 Union and Confederate soldiers dead, wounded, captured or missing.

The Carnton Plantation served as the largest field hospital in the area for hundreds of wounded and dying Confederate soldiers along with five dead Generals.

I drove to Franklin this morning and took some photos of the cemetery. It struck me that I was standing on ground that once had slaves working in the fields and on the plantation. I can’t say that about Driggs, Idaho thankfully…
