The Battle of Franklin: Chapter XVI: From Henry M. Field's 1890 Edition of Bright Skies and Dark Shadows

One chapter of Henry M. Field's 1890 publication entitled Bright Skies and Dark Shadows covers the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee in great detail. This often forgotten source is one of the best accounts of the battle ever recorded. Visiting the battlefield in 1889, Field walked the grounds with four eyewitnesses to the combat--three of them were Confederate soldiers. Two of them fought in the battle--one in the ranks and the other as an Inspector General to Cheatham's Old Division. A contemporary take on the Battle of Franklin by men who were there and were apprised of the situation at Spring Hill, Tennessee and Franklin alike.
