The "Encyclopedia of the Battle of Franklin" is the ultimate
guidebook for all those interested in this truly momentous
conflict. For tourists it's an imperative traveling companion; for
Civil War buffs and scholars an indispensable reference; for
history students an essential educational tool; and for the casual
reader a fascinating chronicle of one of American history's most
significant political and military struggles. With nearly 1,000
entries on subjects ranging from Confederate and Union regiments to
biographies of important figures associated with the battle, the
work also includes hundreds of illustrations, maps, and photos,
eyewitness descriptions of the fight, a full list of the Rebel dead
at the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, and a complete record of both
the C.S. and U.S. forces present on the Franklin battlefield
November 30, 1864. This Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition, the
first and only encyclopedia ever written that is devoted solely to
a single Civil War battle, also includes official battle reports,
command structure charts, genealogical information, an entry index,
a 1,000 book bibliography, and 19th-Century tributes to Confederate
officers who perished at the Battle of Franklin. In addition, the
author generously provides material on the battles that immediately
preceded it (Columbia and Spring Hill) as well as those that
followed it (Nashville and Franklin III), covering nearly every war
related historical site on the popular "Antebellum Trail" that
today runs through Middle Tennessee. This handy detailed compendium
is destined to become a classic in its field. The Foreword is by
Michael Givens, Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans. Lochlainn Seabrook, winner of the prestigious Jefferson
Davis Historical Gold Medal, is a seventh-generation Kentuckian and
the author of over thirty popular adult and children's books. Known
as one of the world's leading pro-South writers, the
unreconstructed Southern historian and poet has a thirty-year
background in the American Civil War and Confederate studies and
biography. He lives with his wife and family in historic Middle
Tennessee, the heart of the Confederacy. An attractive, unique, and
popular tourist-friendly work that will appeal to both casual Civil
War buffs and hardcore Civil War scholars alike, the "Encyclopedia
of the Battle of Franklin" is the perfect addition to any retail
outlet, including not only bookstores, but Civil War sites,
historic houses, museum gift stores, antique shops, B&Bs, tack
shops, motorcycle shops, and gun stores. Seabrook's other titles
