Didn’t Forrest offer to flank the Union lines by crossing the Harpeth river? I always appreciate your presentations but could so far find no reference to this. With all the reasoned defense of Hood he seemed to have, like Bragg, been extremely willing to use men’s lives lavishly

I can’t imagine what it felt like to step forward and March thru that open field- then go hand to hand in the works! God bless them boys of dixie! Deo vindice

Visited in 2019 and will go again in 2021. Tears flowed as I toured the cemetery. Thank you for keeping the history alive and honoring all who fought and shaped our great Nation.

Osage Orange hedge on the east side, thorny. Rebs had a TIME fighting through it.

Thank you sir,a brilliant explanation of an awful battle, but patriotism and loyalty are always the driving force.

My great great grandfather and great great great uncle who were in the 32nd Tennessee Infantry fought at Franklin

French went on after the war tofound a store still around to thisday. Known as French's Boots

I had at least five family members in the 63rd Indiana, in Stiles Brigade entrenchment. Earlier the number was Seven, but two were dead by the time of this late war battle. I have been walking the Eastern Flank portion of the battlefield for decades and am thankful for those who have put so much effort into preserving this historic ground.

Doing this eastern flank piece is very important because it tells an important story that is often overlooked about this battle!

Men were tangled and dead standing and were shot to shreds. 😢

Visited winter of 2020

Stunningly good work!!! This is so impressive and just brings the field to life!!!

Great video! Thanks for posting and continuing to educate and save this Hallowed Ground

Just visited this week. This is a must see if you are near Franklin! Nice to see this explanation of the battle. Our tour guide focused on other aspects of Carnton and not as much about the battle so I left with a lot of questions that this video answered.

Well done.

Can you make a video showing an example of the abatis style entrenchments that the union soldiers built at the Battle of Franklin?

I believe my 3rd great grandfather was in the east side. His Ohio 95 infantry was in the battle of Harpeth River...I am not sure if this was this video or what. Thank you for your bringing awareness to the eastern front.

Excellent presentation, info, and production. May I offer one small item of constructive criticism?
