With its 100-year history of infant mortality, violence, murder,
war, surgical amputations, political intrigue, thousands of ghastly
deaths, and a long streak of truly bad luck, it's little wonder
that Carnton Plantation is haunted, or that thousands travel each
year to visit its hallowed grounds in the hopes of spotting a ghost
themselves. What is perhaps more amazing is that no one has thought
to chronicle the accounts of Carnton's many ghost stories, and put
them in a book for readers of all ages. Lochlainn Seabrook, a
former Carnton tour guide and the author of dozens of popular Civil
War books, has rectified this situation by providing us with the
first nonfiction book ever written about the goblins of Tennessee's
most haunted Civil War house. Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories is
loaded with both fun and serious facts touching on numerous topics,
from the Civil War, plantation life, and Victorian culture, to
19th-Century medicine, genealogy, and slavery. And all is written
from the South's point of view, a refreshing perspective that
enriches an already fascinating subject: a Southern plantation full
of Civil War ghosts Included is a complete list of the dead Rebel
soldiers buried at the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, over 100
photos and illustrations of paranormal energies, Carnton Mansion,
and the grounds, maps of the property, a wonderful and useful
"Ghostly Glossary," a history of both Carnton and the Battle of
Franklin II, and discussions on Lincoln's War. Additionally,
Seabrook, who is related to the founders and owners of Carnton, has
thoughtfully included a family tree for the plantation clan.
Entertaining yet educational, diverting yet gripping, this is a
book that everyone from ghost-hunters to Civil War buffs will want
on their shelf. The foreword is by Austin Cook, team leader of SyFy
Channel s hit TV series Killer Contact. Seabrook, a former Carnton
tour guide and a relative of the McGavock and Winder families, is a
recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal.
Known as the American Robert Graves after his celebrated English
cousin, Seabrook is the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford,
and the author of over thirty popular adult, teen, and children s
