I was lucky enough to visit Franklin in 2012 where I bought a signed copy of Eric’s book, “Baptism of Fire.” I love the book and love this video which does a tremendous job illustrating the topography of this small slice of the battle, not to mention the story of the 44th Missouri. Thank you for everything.

That was a magnificent video telling the story of the combat. The telling was great, the visuals made the story understandable and the exuberance of the speakers helped bring this story to life. It has been a decade since I was there, but I now have a better understanding of the battle and the 44th Missouri. Thank you.

Just received "Baptism of Fire: The 44th Missouri, 175th Ohio, and 183rd Ohio at the Battle of Franklin" by Jacobson and Rupp. Can't wait to start reading it!

I've watched these videos and Adam and Eric tell the story with as much passion from the first video they produced to the current ones. Really amazing history. It's true how we are what we are today because of this history! Thank you guys.

That's it. I'm coming to the Carter house. I've got to walk this battlefield myself. Maybe swing over to Murfreesboro and revisit Stone's River. I love Tennessee anyway. Thanks for the inspiration! Riveting presentation ❤ I learned lots

I was just there. It is awesome. You can really visualize and get a feel for what went down there. The Carnton house just down the road (used as a Confederate field hospital) is just as interesting.

Boy, am I kicking myself right now. I was through Franklin on the way back to Colorado from a trip to North Carolina. I knew of the battle there but had never viewed it and knew virtually nothing about it, other than one whale of a battle took place there. Very thankful for the Franklin trust who helped to keep this hallowed ground from being covered in pizza places and houses. Seeing the air-conditioned Carter house was mind boggling! What a tragedy occurred throughout the war when men who had sworn allegiance to the United States took on the colors of an enemy nation, and paid the ultimate sacrifice in so many cases, such as John Adams slain by his own countrymen in defending the wickedness of slavery!

If it's any consolation to the 44th Missouri it's that after their valiant stand they were no longer treated derisively as rookies. That night I'm sure the some veterans from neighboring units drifted into their camp welcoming them to the brotherhood.

Thank you for this presentation. Could you tell me where to research if the Ninth Illinois was in combat at the Battle of Franklin ? Thank you m

Mr. Jacobson's book, "Baptism Under Fire," is the historical authority on the battle and a must read.

This regiment founded in St. Joseph. St. Joseph was at the border of the higher % slave populated Little Dixie and the low% slave populated Iowa border stripe in Missouri. Which counties did the volunters of 44th Missouri arrive from?

What about the Missouri Confederates who fought at Franklin.

The soldiers of 44th Missouri came from Sullivan, Mercer, Grundy and other North West Missouri counties. This area was the third prounionist area the Iowa border stripe in Missouri, The first was St Louis area (here 2 counties voted to Abraham Lincoln in 1860), the second was the Ozark region (as in Arkansas). Perhaps after Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Lincoln reelection in November of 1864 the South should have gave up instead of plus produce another 100,000 dead!
