How
Fought at Franklin,
IN TENNESSEE, NOV. 30, 1864.
Some Say It Was the Greatest Battle of
the \Var— A Fatal Dafiy for Southern
Oflicers —— Confederates First Victor‘s,
Then Vanquished.
Nov. 30, 1889, is the quarter centenary of
the great battle at Franklin, Tenn., between
Hood’s army and Schofield’s.
Hood attacked first, but he delayed till 4“
o’clock p. m. The battle was not a long one,
for the light of the short November day
waned speedily.

BATTLE OF FRANKLIN.
Vr'agner’s brigade held the outposts and re-
ceived the first attack. They held the skir-
mish line too long, till they lost .' a thousand
men, 700 of them prisoners. Then they made
a mad rush for the intrenchments, in such
haste as to carry back with them the first
line of those manning the works.
There was great confusion, and Confed—
erates began to pour into the openings. The
battle seemed lost at the outset. The Confed-
erates captured eight guns and succeeded in
breaking the Union line in the center. ‘
It was a moment of wildest confusion. The
Confederates, crying, “Let us go into the
Union and Confederate,
works with them!” were carrying all before ,
them. Cleburne’s
made the attack.
and Brown’s divisions '
In the flush of victory they ;
heeded not discipline, but rushed forward in 1
a mass, while above
all rose the shrill
and fierce “rebel
yell.”
The scene was
sufficiently terrify—
ing. Under an im-
pulse they could
not resist, a new
infantry regiment,
that had seen no
5 e r v ic e hitherto,
tn rned and fled.
The place in the
works they had de-
serted was instantly filled by Confederates,
who swarmed in, yelling and firing.
It was a terrible moment. It has been said
that this, that and the other officer or brigade
saved the day just here; but the fact is, there
were several who saved the day. Gen. J. D.
Cox, the commander. was magnificent. With-
out an instant’s hesitation he sprang into the
break, mounted, and waving his sword and
shouting to his men, to rally them.
In reserve behind the break, less than 106
yards away, was the second line of Gen. J.
W. Reilly’s brigade, under Cols. White and
Rousseau. It was composed of the Twelfth
and Sixteenth Kentucky and Eighth Tennes-
see regiments, men fighting almost on their
native heath. Not delaying an instant, not
the colonels of these brave regiments threw
them into the breach. Then came mortal
fighting.
The flags of both armies waved over the
works at the same instant. Men emptied
.——- . their muskets into
“ each other’s faces,
officers drew their
pistols and fought.
like the men. It
was like the fight-
ing of the old demi-
gods and heroes in
the siege of Troy.
Another man won
lasting fame in the
history of his coun-
try that day. This
was Col. (after-
i wards Gen.) Emer-
i; son Opdycke. He had come up with
i the rear guard about noon, and gone into
reserve on the back of Carter’s hill, 200
yards behind the main breastworks. He
had chosen his position himself. Gen.
, Wagner said to him before the battle: “Op-
“ dycke, fight when you please. I may not see
you again." -
At the moment when Reilly’s men were
grappling with the Confederates on top of
the breastworks, Opdycke formed his troops
and rushed in behind thegn, crying to the
‘ soldiers:
“Forward to the rescue!”
. Opdycke was a splendid and heroic figure.
3 Yet another was Gen. D. S. Stanley. He
was across on the north side of the river with
Schofield, and was ill. Suddenly heavy can—
nonading broke out in the direction of Cox’s
command at Franklin. The sound floated to
.‘ the ears of Schofield, and Stanley. Stanley
‘ pricked up his ears like a war horse at the
. sound of a. trumpet; then, forgetting his ill-
. ness, forgetting all except that there was
‘ fighting and he not in it, he sprang upon his
horse and galloped into the battle. Here he
_ remained, riding hither and thither, giving
orders, and receiving a severe wound. He
' did not even then quit the field, however, but
l remained till dark. Stanley is at present
commander of the military department of
Texas.

Gen. Opdycke says he was under fire 115
ays during the war, and saw bayonet
barges several times, but this was the only
attle in which he saw bloody bayonets. At
me time the Confederates had actual posses-
ion of 400 yards of ’ the breastworks. Regi-
u ental flags on both sides were captured and
- : ptured and wavered back and forth be-
ween the blue and the ' gray. After the
ght was over, the Thirty-sixth Illinois regi-
in em; were lamenting bitterly the loss of their
olors. The standard bearer heard them,

waiting even for orders from superior ofiicers, ,
stood in an angle of the Union works.
’ was here that Reilly’s brigade was, between
The staff had been shot to splinters in his
hands, and then he clung to the hunting.
But fearful lest it should betorn from his,
grasp, he wound it around and around his,
body, under his blouse, and buttoned the
coat over it. Then, snatching a musket, he
went into the fight with his comrades.
Cheatham’s corps made the attack, and
soon Stewart’s corps, on Cheatham’s right,
became involved. Gen. Stone says of the
battle:
“There was nota breath of wind and the
dense smoke settled down upon the field.
Through this blinding medium assault after
assault was made, several officers declaring
they received as many as thirteen distinct
shocks.”
The Columbia pike ran north and south.
West of it was Carté'r’s house, and on the
east side opposite was a cotton gin house.
On the Columbia pike, between Carter’s and
the gin house, the heaviest fighting took
place on that bloody day. The cotton giIn

the pike and the gin house, its right on the
pike, its left extending beyond the gin house.
The Confederate generals Cleburne, Strahl,
Gist, Adams and Granberry were killed.
Gens. Cockrell, Quarles, Brown, Carter, Man-
gault and Scott were wounded. Gen. G. W.‘
Gordon was captured.
One of the tragic horrors of the day was
that the Carter family remained in their
house during the fight. They fled to the cel-
lar when the Confederates made the first on-
slaught. Over and through the house went
shot and shell for hours. In an agony of sus-
pense the father and daughters huddled to.
gether in the cellar from the time the battle
began till daylight next morning. ~
The sounds of battle had ceased, and the
young ladies ventured from their hiding
place. They began to carry water to the
wounded and dying, who lay all about the
house, and to minister as far as might be to
their wants. At the back of their house were
the Union breastworks. The sisters climbed
this, The first object they saw, lying across
it, was their own brother, a young Confed—
erate officer, mortally wounded.
The death of Gen. Pat Cleburne occurred
under circumstan»
ces especially mel—
ancholy. In t 11 e
morning, before the
fight began, Cle-
burne and Hood
had held a conver-
sation in which the
co m m a n d c r-i n-
chief blamed his
subordinate severe- ‘»Z;;‘:.‘{€\ _
ly for the failure to 5:3
take and h 0 l d ‘31

before.
Cleburne felt the
reproof intensely,
felt that it was un-

just, and spoke bitterly of it to Gen. Brown
as he rode to Franklin that day. He had re-
solved that no more complaints of his lack of
energy should be made, and so he plunged
recklessly into the fight at Franklin.
He was at the head of his division, urging
it desperately forward into the breach made
by Wagner’s retreating men. When Op
dycke and Cox rushed the reserves into this
gap, between the ,- gin house and the pike,
Cleburne was one of the first who fell dead.
Cleburne’s division was in three lines, and
when he fell they fought more madly than
ever to avenge their leader. But it was too
late. The gap was closed, and Cleburne’s
men fell by the thousand, following the lead-
er who died with the sense of bitter wrong
rankling in his breast.
Gen. John S. Casement’s brigade occupied
the left of the Twenty-third corps. Here the
Confederate attack was made by IValthall’s
and part of Loring’s division. Here so many
Confederate officers fell that, at the close of
VVathall’s assault, in Quarles’ brigade of his
division the ranking officer was a captain.
Gen. John Adams, who led one of the first
of the assaulting brigades, leaped across the
ditch in front of the'Union fortifications on
horseback, and rode straight up the parapet.
At the top his horse was shot and fell dead,
pitching Adams headlong inside the breast-
work. But the daring rider himself was mor-
tally wounded and soon died.
On the right of where the gap was first
made in the Union line, Strickland’s brigade
was. It was attacked by Maj. Gen. John C.
Brown’s Confederate division, and was driven
back with the rest of the first line in the
opening of the battle. But the Union brigade
threw up a. barri-
c a d e twenty-five
y ards back of
where the first had
_ been, and once
.. more entered the
' , fight and held their
“ ground here,
through assault af
ter assault.
Gen. Strahl led
one of the attacking
Confederate b r i-
gades. He remained
at the very head,
and with desperate
valor urged his men
over the ditch and up the slope. In this dan-
gerous situation a ball struck and wounded
him. His men were carrying him to the
rear, when another ball struck him and killed
him instantly. His next in command, Col.
Stafford, was also slain.
The bereft brigade sent to Brown for or:
ders, but he himself had been wounded se-
verel y and disabled. Of all Brown’s brigade
commanders, Gist and Strahl were dead,
Gordon was captured and Carter was mor-
tally wounded.
Hood himself then sent Johnson’s division
to the aid of Brown, but no flesh and blood
could endure the fire that met them. Gen.
Manigault, in command, was soon severely
wounded. Then the division retired, leaving
him upon the field.
But the Confederates did not finally give
up the fight till 9 o’clock.
‘ Meantime, at the ford, two miles up the
Harpeth river, the cavalry of Forrest and
Wilson were busily engaged. Forrest had in
truth crossed the river, but was driven back
by Wilson. Hood had expected to over-
whelm the infantry of Schofield by his onset
at Franklin, and had expected Forrest to
take care of the cavalry. In both objects he
was disappointed. The Union army at
Franklin captured thirty-two Confederate
flags. Of these Reilly’s division had twenty-
two and Opdycke’s brigade ten. .
After the battle Schofield ordered Cox to
withdraw from the field. Opdycke says the
line of the Harpeth could have been held by
the Union force till Thomas could have come
down with Smith’s army from Nashville,
and thus the campaign have been finished
then and there. Cox indeed replied to Scho-
field’s summonsto withdraw:
“I will pledge my head that I can hold my
present position against any attack that Hood
can make.” , ._
Schofield, however, made the ordeii'per-
emptory, and at midnight Cox’s men resumed
the march to Nashville, reaching there Dec. 1.
Hood followed Dec. 2, and besieged Nashville
on the south for two weeks,
A. J. Smith had now come from Missouri

THOMAS VICTORY.
TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN ENDS AT
NASHVILLE, DECEMBER, 1864.
Said Sherman to Thomas: “If There’s
Any Fighting to Be Done You Will
Have It to Do." and Thomas Did It.
Hood’s Defeat.
Dec. 15 and 16 of this year the surviving
heroes of the Army of the Cumberland cele-
brate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the bat-
tle of Nashville, in which their beloved com-
mand'r, Gen. George H. Thomas, led them
to victory.
Thomas’ army occupied a line of hills south
of the Cumberland. Hood took position on
another and similar line south of l‘homaS.
Montgomery Hill, within 600yards of the
Union works, was his center. Hood’s army
was Still 46,000 strong, according to Opdycke.
Gen. Wilson had come across from Edgefield,
and was now on the Union right. _
A heavy mist covered the earth up to noon,
Dec. 15. Under its cover'Smith, on the Union
right, advanced close up' to the Confederate
lines,. with Wilson’s cavalry ,on his right.
While they were advancing, Gen. Steedman,
on the Union ,left, made an unsuccessful at-
tack on the Confederate right. ,
Steedman’s attack so occupied Hood’s at»
tention that'he did not perceive the advance
on his left till Smith and Wilson opened fire.
He was completely surprised. His cavalry,
which should have met the attack, was weak
here. He had felt so sure of Victory over
Thomas that he had taken‘ no pains to
strengthen it. He had even sent Forrest
away on a raid to Murfreesboro.
The Confederate left was completely driven
back by Smith and \Vilson. Two redoubts
were carried, four guns and 800 prisoners
taken. The Union troops of Hatch and
McArthur did most of the fighting.
Wood meantime attacked the Confederate
center at Montgomery Hill and carried it,
and connected with Smith’s left. Here 700
prisoners and eight guns were captured. On
the Confederate front were two lines of
works, both of which Wood carried. The
fight closed with the darkness.
During the night Hood withdrew his right
toaliue with his left and center, that had
been driven back. Then he transferred
Cheatham from his right to the weakened
left. This placed Lee on the right and Stew-
art iu the center. His line was now three
miles long, with his right upon Overton’s
Hill, four miles north of Brentwood; his left
was on the Granny White pike.
FIGHT, DEC. 16.
Late Dec. 15, Schofield had been moved
from the let‘ t of the Union army to Smith’s
right. and faced eastward. Wood and Steed-
man faced south. They opened the attack
at 3 o’clock in the afternoon against Overton
Hill. If the attack had been made in the
morning, Hood’s whole army would have
been destroyed. But Hood had weakened his
left and center to strengthen Overton Hill,
and Wood was repulsed. But Smith and
Schofield massed their troops and made a
terrific rush against the weakened left and
center. The Confederate line broke in many
places. The men turned and fled down the
Franklin pike, through Brentwood pass, the
only line of retreat left.
Thomas‘ army captured 4,500 prisoners
and 53 pieces of artillery. Among the pris-
oners were 287 ofiicers.

BATTLE or NASHVILLE.
Late at night Gen. Wilson, riding down
the Granny IVhite Pike in pursuit of the fly-
ing Confederates, heard a horseman behind
him. It was Gen. Thomas himself.
He rode up to Gen. Wilson and grasped his
hand and shook it, saying: “I told you we
could whip Hood.” Then he turned, without
another word, and rode back to his head-
quarters. A great weight had been rolled
from heart and brain of the commander.
Shy’s Hill was the objective of a heavy
cross fire from the guns of both Smith and
Schofield during the 10th. While this was in
progress Wilson with his dismounted cavalry,
three divisions, was working up from hill to
hill towards Hood’s refused left, where Gen.
Chalmers was. Seeing this, Hood sent the
following message to Chalmers: “For God’s
sake, drive the Yankee cavalry from our left
and rear, or all is lost. ” But Chalmers could
not. Then Hood withdrew from the front a
brigade, which necessitated a. weakening
of the front and a change and thinning out
of the line on Shy’s Hill. At this mm
ment Gen. McArthur, watching from the
Union lino, decided that an assault on Shy’s
Hill was practicable. The assault was made
under the eye of Thomas himself, Col. Mc-
Millan’s brigade in the lead.
From Overton’s Hill, on the right, to
Shy’s Hill and the refused line which Wil-
son’s cavalry had broken on the left, the Con-
federates fled in mud rent. The battle of
Nashville was over.
The Union army followed till darkness
ended the pursuit, Dec.‘16. W'ith daybreak
it was resumed, Dec. 17, by Wilson’s cavalry.
Four miles north of Franklin the Cbn‘fed—
erate rear guard was overtaken and 413
prisoners were captured.
At Franklin, Wilson found Hood’s rear
guard at the crossing of the Harpeth. . Hood
fled on southward, leaving 2,000 wounded
in the hospital at Franklin. Four miles south
of Franklin, Hood’s rear guard made an-
other stand, and were routed, with the loss
of more guns and prisoners. Rain fell for
days. Thomas’ pontoons were nearly all
away with Sherman. The Confederates de-
stroyed all crossings behind them. But there
was no longer more than the scattering rem-
nantof an army to pursue. When at Cb~
lumbia, in the latter part of December, For-
rest’s cavalry, 4,000 strong,’rejoined Hood,
and covered the rest of the unhappy retreat
to Tupelo, Miss. Hood claims to have taken
21,000 men to Tupelo.
During the whole Tennessee campaign, up
tothe time Hood reached Tupelo, Thomas’
losses in killed, wounded and missing were
10,000. Those of Hood have never been fully
ascertained, but at Nashville alone he lost in
killed, wounded, missing and prisoners, 15,000.
Hoqi’s army was hopelessly broken.
Dec. 30, 1864, Thomas announced the suc‘
cessful termination of the campaign. His
force was then distributed among the garri-
sons of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. The
tactics and strategy he had shovvn during the
Tennessee campaign stamped him as a great
commander. ELIZA Ancuym CONNER
