My 4x-great-uncle Samuel Pangle, a Sergeant in Company F, Sixty-Fourth Division out of Ohio, was killed in Spring Hill on November 29, 1864. He was 19 years old. I found his picture in a video titled Photos of Union Soldiers Killed in the American Civil War: Part 2. He’s at time stamp 1:32 in that video. I’m proud of him for the sacrifice he made for the betterment of our country. Thank you for educating me on this part of the Civil War and for keeping our history alive.

Best book on the subject. For Cause and Country. By Eric Jacobsen.

My Confederate Ancestor Pvt Thomas Lawrence McAbee Co H 16th South Carolina Infantry, fought at this battle under Brig. Gen. States Rights Gists at the battle of Franklin!

Impressive orator

Thank you for this video! I'm reading the 1995 city plans of the Spring Hill battlefield plans and hate that the driving tour and history never really was completed. I think our local youth would benefit from understanding this battle in their backyard. We regularly hike the Kedron walking trail and cross the creek to play along the battlefield hill. I love all the wildlife we find in this area!

Thanks to everyone involved and their hard work

Thanks...enjoyed it.

Thanks for making this.

Great summary video and insight. Researching Spring Hill and Franklin for my own ends at present and something about this video, seeing the fields, understanding the ground, how Eric relates it to the human experience, has my heart beating a little faster as it did when I first visited a Civil War field of battle. Thanks.

Great Presentation. This man is a natural. He is amount the best storytellers I’ve seen.

Living in spring hill my whole life, i learned so much about the history here and i love it

Incredible presentation such rich detail thank you!

I hope to get there some day to see the terrain. It is difficult just reading about it to understand how the Federals passed by unchallenged.

My family and I live about a mile from the Spring Hill battleground. Thank you for producing and posting this great video - I utilized it during my son’s homeschool lesson today👍

I would love ❤️ to visit Spring Hill and Franklin

Excellent video!!!

Regarding sounds on the battlefield, several authors wrote that Joe Hooker, who was located at the Chancellorsville Inn, did not hear the sounds produced by Jackson's flank attack on 2 May 1863. Hooker was about 2 miles away from the fighting started by the flank attack.

My Grandparents lived 5 miles from Henry Horton Park. How close is the battlefield to there?? To be precise they lived at a little place called Anes Station. It is where the trains stopped for water just a few miles from Horton Park. The big water sistern is still there on their property

Thanks for the vidéo How do you explain why confederates did not camp through the Pike ?

How do you go about getting a battle tour with Eric Jacobson?

Good stuff. This is the most underrated series of events in the civil war Listen to Sam Watkins story on KZfaq 8 hr listen. You won’t be able to stop

Outcome of spring hill/ Franklin was the most demoralizing battle of the war in many ways,for the southern army. Imo...

I visited this " hill" battlefield site. I was disappointed. Few markers ( faded, unpainted)not really developed, run down, trash all over, no real display other than 1 sad, unkept cannon. Just a path through weeds to get there( no discernable trail), unmowed. Hood, for all his reknown was a disaster for the South. His losses of men were disasterous & his military stragedy was off kilter.

Pulaski rd. Is well hidden between ridges to Franklin.

Gen. John Bell Hood, should have been replaced due to his previous wound's, Laudnum left him unable to Command! (a Team of Patrick Cleburne, Nathan B. Forrest, would've been a much better choice?
