So sad. What a waste. Too bad the other officers didn't disobey Hood, and do the right thing.

I visited this cemetery in about 2003 - It is an awe-inspiring place, yet so sad to see so many grave sites - many who are unknown. I think it's great that it is kept up in remembrance of the fallen soldiers.

God grant everlasting honor and rest to the men of the Army of Tennessee buried here! "The Army of Tennessee would charge Hell with nothing but cornstalks!" Union General John Schofield after the repeated frontal assaults on his breastworks at the VERY bloody Battle of Franklin - 30 November 1864
DEO VINDICE!
