Twilight of the Confederacy: The Battle of Franklin

by Andrew V. Gallagher

Franklin may have been the most brutal, one-sided battle of the Civil War. Its obscurity -- for its horror -- mocks and trivializes what settled the fate of the Confederacy. Written words remain meaningless to convey the human and spiritual hopelessness of what occurred.
