Can’t overstate enough just how fascinating this battle was at so many levels. Deep gratitude to you two for keeping history a priority in a time when far too many have neglected the same.
Thank you for this part of the tour and the information provided. In 2012, I arrived too late to visit Carnton, but was able to visit the Carter House and walk to the location where General Cleburne was slain.
5:37 That is so interesting that he says that Hood barely broke through but then he had to pull back. Ending the fighting. I’ve always heard from other documentaries That the federal finally just slowly started get troops across the newly made bridge and went on to Nashville which ended the fighting. I wonder if it was both right 50-50. Because it was strange to be fighting at night anyway back then

Poor John Bell - what more did the guy have to lose to be taken seriously?
My ancestor John Lanier of the 29th Georgia infantry died here and is burried in the McGavok Cemetery. A special place.
