Battle of Franklin 150th Anniversary (US Civil War)
The Battle of Franklin often called the Gettysburg of the West was one of the bloodiest battles in the bloody Civil War fought on November 30, 1864. The Confederate Army of the West led by General John B. Hood assaulted an entrenched Union army at Franklin as they waited to ford a river and get to Nashville.
What followed was 5 hours of bloody carnage as the Confederates made a frontal attack on fortified positions. Union losses were over 2000 while Confederate losses were over 6000 including six generals killed.
Hood limped on towards Nashville but really his army was crushed at Franklin and it was only a matter of time.
The 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Franklin was held November 15-16 but the second day was cancelled due to bad weather. The following footage is from the first day which recreated the attacks near the center at the Carter House where some of the fiercest fighting took place.
I had two ancestors involved in the battle on the Confederates side - my great-great grandfather and his brother. Both were wounded, my great-great grandfather having lost a leg and would have died if not for the kindness of a Franklin resident and later a Union prison guard.

Burial of a Civil War Soldier
Franklin, TN, October 10, 2009: A Civil War soldier is laid to rest after being discovered in an unmarked grave south of Franklin earlier this year. It is not conclusively known whether the soldier was Union or Confederate. But, he was carried by procession with attendees dressed in period clothing, including many Union and Confederate reenactors who paid final respects. This soldier likely died during events surrounding the Battle of Franklin, which was fought on November 30th, 1864.
Included in attendance were two sons of Civil War veterans (elderly men whose fathers had them late in life). As a gesture and tribute, dirt from each of the states from which soldiers fought in the Battle of Franklin was placed in the grave in order to assure that the soldier was buried with dirt from his home state.

Civil War 125th Anniv. Battle of Franklin - Re-enacting Retro - 1989
Published on November 30th - the Anniversary of the Battle.
Re-enacting Retro - A very well-produced 125th Anniversary Re-enactment film with footage captured at the huge December 1989 Re-enactment in Tennessee. Portions filmed on the actual battlefield.
We hope you enjoy. This is another in a series of postings on our YouTube channel of a cool New series of Old videos -- featured only on here -- taken from a personal collection of re-enacting films and videos from the 1980s that can't be found anywhere else, or else we've tried to find them for nostalgia's sake, but did our own digging and presenting the results of our treasure hunt here. Some are taken from VHS originals or DVD transfers from those VHS copies. Originals were in Standard Def or Videotaped off of TV when they first aired. Some shot professionally and others by individuals with portable home video cameras on their shoulders.
Some Classic Re-enacting videos are already searchable on YouTube, but we wanted to start a new series of some rarely or never before seen classics that either only aired once or where short lived and available only to a select few at the time. We hope you enjoy. These programs presented in this RE-ENACTING RETRO series are presented for the enjoyment of all and we don't claim them for ourselves.
