One of my g-grandfathers was there ... 17th/18th Texas Cavalry (Dismounted) and one of Gen. Cleburne's sharpshooters. Was right in the lead of the attack and pinned down in front of the Union barricades for hours. Had a couple of other troops loading for him and had to stand up to fire over the barricade. Miracle he survived!
My GGG-uncle was mortally wounded in the battle and is buried in McGavock Confederate Cemetery. He was a 2nd Lieutenant in Company E. 7th Mississippi Battalion Infantry. Thanks for bringing the event to life with this presentation.
@@CSAFD As awesome as that is, I personally think Hood is a far better Corps Commander where his aggressive tactics could be best put into play as opposed to being behind the lines as Army Commander but he was still very good in such a role.
My great grandfather fought for a Mississippi company at Chicamauga and was captured at Franklin and sent to Camp Douglas in Chicago. Out of 700 volunteers from his town in Mississippi in 1862 only 70 survived the war.
My ancestor, with the 44th Tennessee Consolidated Infantry Regiment , Private Young A Taylor fought here. He was wounded but survived the battles. I recently located his grave near Fayetteville TN. He is buried in a peaceful, on top of a small hill in the middle of crop fields and woods surrounding him.
Just went there one week ago 2023. Amazing that it’s such an important battle that we weren’t taught about in school. Our guide told us that previously someone was going to tear down the Carter house to build a gas station. Then the State of Tennessee bought it. Thank yiu fir saving our American history!
We took the tour of this battle a couple of times before the reclamation, and one walk through the park (Gin location) a short while ago. When the news came out 15 years ago that you were starting the reclamation I was so excited to see it all unfold. And now after so much has been done to restore the fields and all you do to continue to discover, preserve and teach, I couldn't be happier at what I see. You Eric, are a true treasure in the preservation of American history. Thank you!
There's always been a dispute as to which battle, Gettysburg or Franklin, was the most horrific. Some say that calling Franklin "the Gettysburg of the West" should be changed to calling Gettysburg the "Franklin of the East". And......Wow! What a GREAT presentation!
@@totallynotalpharius2283 Blacklisted only because he advocated that slaves who fought for the South should be emancipated and pushed Jefferson Davis and other generals to agree. Because of this he was blacklisted but he was courageous in battle and a great tactician. He was called the ‘Stonewall of the West.’ One of the greatest generals produced in the Civil War on either side.
amazing. my only time out there to see relatives in Nashville (who are no longer with us) in the early 90s there was none of this. i was so sad as Embrace an Angry Wind was one of my most recent purchases back then and there was nothing realy to see. i would love to go back now. great work. one of the hardest and roughest fights with so many generals down, this needed to be preserved.
The knowledge and love for the history of that battlefield can be felt watching and hearing you describe it so passionately❤️ Thank you for this and for all that you do!
I find this very interesting my 4x great grandfather Andrew Goff one of the early residents of Williamson County had a house near the battlefield, however, he passed about 30 years earlier.
Great video.. Franklin doesn't get enough credit as a major battle. It really was the last nail in the coffin for the South. I'm glad that the ground is being saved and it's being preserved and how the men that died there are being remembered! God bless them!
Awesome Tour. I've been to this battlefield 5 times. I live on the west coast, but I have family in Nashville. I love visiting Franklin and learning the history of this battle. This last time I was in Franklin I visited the Lotz house and learn the history of this family and what they did during and after the battle. So much history here that changed our nation in so many ways. My first time at the Carter house I was with my reenactor pards. We were there a few days earlier before the a big reenactment of this battle. We were fortunate enough to be given a guided tour by Thomas Cartwright. That was an amazing experience. I thought I knew about this battle until I listened to Thomas give us the tour, I didn't realize how much I didn't know. This was in 1994 I believe on the 130th anniversary of the battle of Franklin. It truly boggles the mind that men could stand in such horror and fight bravely for their Pards and their Regiment.
Love the detail, scholarship, and highly nuanced human and historical context offered here in a battle and moment in US history so worthy of memorializing on both sides of this tragic yet fascinating war. Excellent work and many heart-felt thanks for the reclamation project here.
I was fortunate enough to get to visit this battlefield and Stones River and it was incredible. If you ever get the chance to go to Tennessee, make your stops at every battlefield and old plantation that you can. And this man is even more lively during the tour than he is here. I was definitely taken back to the battle during my time there.
I salute the effort made to preserve this hallowed ground. Thank You for a graphic presentation. Everyone who fought here, or fought and died here...fought for what they thought was right, as God gave them the light to see what was right.
First visited Franklin in summer of 2000; more or less a drive-by (spent less than 3 hours in town). Took in Carter House, Lotz House, McGavock Cemetery (a lovely, cool, shaded site on a very hot July day), and simply looked at Carnton from a distance. Since then, joined CWPT/CWT/American Battlefield Trust and donated to several fundraisers. This presentation ranks near the top of all guided battlefield tours at many Civil War sites. Too bad that they won't be reconstructing the cotton gin. Have not heard much about the development/interpretation of the Eastern Flank portion of the field (where the old country club and golf course used to be; purchased about 8 to 10 years ago by various preservation organizations). Hope to one day return and see all the improvements since Thomas Cartwright was head honcho of the Carter House.
Thank You Eric! I live in NY but my Brother has lived in Franklyn, Nashville and Brentwood. I've been visiting the battlefield since 1994 and Its come along way!
Incredibly well done video and battle overview. Congrats on all of the restoration victories as well. Keep up the great work, sincerely. (Got me interesting in researching the 44th Missouri...specifically because of your video too.) Awesome information.
Mr Jacobson’s passion and knowledge on this subject is inspiring and educating. I have followed his presentations over the years and read both his books relating to Franklin. Along with Thomas Cartwright, I regard him as the leading living authority on this battle. This entertaining well-made short documentary is interesting and informative. It captures the drama of the event in a most enthralling way, thanks largely to Mr Jacobson’s delivery style and deep understanding of what occurred. The significance of this tragic battle is often underrated or overlooked by many civil war historians. Thank you Mr Jacobson for all of your energetic and devoted work in bringing what happened here to account in interesting ways so that it is not forgotten by present and future generations. I sincerely hope people continue to support what you and your Trust are doing.
@@ericjacobson7321 You are very welcome, Mr Jacobson. I have followed and admired your accomplishments from afar, for a long time now. I remain enthralled by the passion you exude and the deep knowledge you earnestly display of the tragedy at Franklin. You convincingly demonstrate to me an intimate connection with these events, like you lived through what happened there. Importantly, you disseminate it to others in interesting, informative and innovative ways. Mr Jacobson, I sincerely hope you stay well and continue with your wonderful work for as long as you believe in it. Thank you.
Visited for the first time last weekend. Seeing the grounds in person takes this to another level. Absolutely worth the time despite not being particularly expansive. I did a lot study prior and it really helped bring the battle to life finally standing there.
I'm impressed on many levels with this video. Thank you for conserving the site and the truth of what occurred there, and for speaking of it with such passion and pathos!
You made this battle come alive and I can image how insane it must have been, though not really for that I would have had to been fighting that battle. Thank you.
Fantastic presentation! I would love to visit! I think it's an amazing thing that y'all have done, to reclaim this historic Battlefield!! Thank you! Will you continue to reclaim the entire Battlefield?? Or have already done so!
Love how you walked the line of confederate charge to show the ground as it layed out for those men. Must have been incredibly frustrating for them to continue up one rise after another and encounter more union troops well dug in.
Outstanding..... Thank You....One of the BEST.!! ....Battle videos on You Tube......No hyper audio explanations like some other historians..., and body gyrations they think adds some sort of effect.....but straight forward Facts.....told in easy to understand and at a moderate rate to give one time to process it.....Thank You again...... Kevin Rich
Fantastic!!!! Great pacing, delivery, even the "jump cuts" were interesting!! This is going to prove to be some great primary research material for a tactical wargame project I'm working on!
We recently toured the Carter house and grounds took the tour but this video really brings it to life especially after actually being there. I couldn’t stop watching it. What a great depiction of history. Thank you!
Amazing presentation of a pivotal yet often understated event of the war. Visited this field last November and toured the Lotz house. Very Grateful for what you guys have been doing!
My great grandfather was in the First Alabama Regiment & was captured in the Battle of Franklin. He entertained his children of stories of how he was grabbed by "a big Yankee", dragged over the breast works & taken prisoner during the battle. He finished The War in Camp Douglas in Chicago.
Great explanation.....I visited, looked at, bought the book and still couldn't really get this whole battle fold out...until your narration and visual. Thank you, God bless.
WOW! Sitting on my couch, in my comfortable pajamas and slippers, warm, dry and well fed…this man made me feel like I was pushing through Carters orchard and throwing myself into those cannon! Hoorah good sir, you are a credit to the preservation of our history! So a question. The road that runs along the breast works between the turnpike and the visitor center…was that road NOT a road at the time of the battle?
Thanks for this updated look at the reclaimed areas. I was on the BGES tour with you in 2011 on the anniversary, and the changes since then are dramatic. On behalf of my children, and their children, many thanks to you and the Trust for commitment to this field. I shot this video in 2011. I can't wait to return to that spot with the house gone, and see it again. th-cam.com/video/Hctzw7B7VD0/w-d-xo.html
Impressive...truly impressive. Thank you, good committed people of Franklin for this quite emotive preservation. I must admit my shock to see General MacArthur ,,Senior😎" as a Major. At age 19??
My great grandfather and great uncle were in Granbury's Brigade-as I understand it E.T Broughton received a brevet promotion as a Lt. Col. and took command of the brigade as they proceeded on to Nashville.. Good presentation---Left out the facts (as I understand it) that 5 or 6 confederate generals died on this field or in the makeshift hospital
I love these documentaries…..good on you folks for restoring and preserving these battlefields. Can I be pedantic and correct you for a mispronunciation of General Dan Govan’s surname? Correctly pronounced it should be “Guv-in” not “Go-van” as I have been hearing! Perhaps this is helpful for authenticity? Cheers, Craig Gemmell, New Zealand.
Hmm. You know ...I'm really fortunate to have watched this video...I ve learned a part of history today ..that shouldnt be forgotton.. You seem like you know your stuff there fella ; you must have went to Evansville high school...lol
Thank you for an informative and interesting history lesson. I've never read any sensible rationalization by Hood as to why he chooses to try to retake Nashville instead of going after Sherman's army that was tearing through the South. His chance of success in Tennessee was less than successfully taking Sherman's army.
This man is one hell of a historian.He brings the battle to life,and brings the despair despairation of both sides to us.
Like as if he's reporting the battle live on site as it happens back in 1864
One of my g-grandfathers was there ... 17th/18th Texas Cavalry (Dismounted) and one of Gen. Cleburne's sharpshooters. Was right in the lead of the attack and pinned down in front of the Union barricades for hours. Had a couple of other troops loading for him and had to stand up to fire over the barricade. Miracle he survived!
Thank you for ensuring the sacrifice of all men who died in Franklin is honored.
My GGG-uncle was mortally wounded in the battle and is buried in McGavock Confederate Cemetery. He was a 2nd Lieutenant in Company E. 7th Mississippi Battalion Infantry. Thanks for bringing the event to life with this presentation.
My GGG grandfather was Hood
Salute from Alabama
I was just at Carnton and the cemetery on Saturday late afternoon.
@@CSAFD As awesome as that is, I personally think Hood is a far better Corps Commander where his aggressive tactics could be best put into play as opposed to being behind the lines as Army Commander but he was still very good in such a role.
@ so do I
This guy is amazing. I could listen to his history stories all day
So happy the battlefield has been restored.
It has not been completely restored. I do not know how much of it has been restored but I am sure there is more work needs to be done. God Bless.
My great grandfather fought for a Mississippi company at Chicamauga and was captured at Franklin and sent to Camp Douglas in Chicago. Out of 700 volunteers from his town in Mississippi in 1862 only 70 survived the war.

My 3rd Great Grandfather Aaron Pepper died in this battle, he was with the 16th Tennessee Regiment.
Excellent presentation. Wow. The courage of our ancestors is simply God-given. Rest In Peace to all who gave their life here.

I knew I liked history but never heard a historian like this man before. He brings history alive! Kudos to the best I’ve ever listened to.
Thank you for your battlefield trip. My 2nd great grandfather died here with many other 16th Kentucky men.
I LOVE our history of our country. Never heard of this battle. Thank you!!!!
What an awesome video! Thank you for posting, and thank you for the effort to restore the battlefield. Can’t wait to see it next spring.
My 2nd great grandfather fought under Cleburne with the 33d Alabama Infantry and was captured at Franklin. Its on my bucket list to visit.
Thank you for narrating such an interesting part of our history and telling it in such a way that you really brought it back to "life" so to speak.
There's always been a dispute as to which battle, Gettysburg or Franklin, was the most horrific. Some say that calling Franklin "the Gettysburg of the West" should be changed to calling Gettysburg the "Franklin of the East". And......Wow! What a GREAT presentation!
No need to compare. Both awful. As were Antietam, Shiloh, Perryville, Chancellorsville, etc. etc.
Mein Gott en Himmel! Such bravery! Such sacrifice! Pray for peace because we know the cost of war and violence.
The loss of Cleburne was equivalent to the loss of Stonewall Jackson!
I’m not disagreeing with you but he’d been blacklisted , he’d risen as far as he would
@@totallynotalpharius2283
Blacklisted only because he advocated that slaves who fought for the South should be emancipated and pushed Jefferson Davis and other generals to agree. Because of this he was blacklisted but he was courageous in battle and a great tactician.

My gosh, his passion and knowledge is amazing. I'm hooked, what a storyteller thank you for this..
This host is outstanding. A gifted natural who can bring a battle back to life. Thanks Battle of Franklin Trust. Tell us who this man is?

One of the best battlefield explanations on TH-cam. Thank you

You did an extra good explaining,fast and detailed,and about wiscosin Gen MacAurhur,s relative
I almost forgot to watch this today.
