Twenty-two miles slightly southwest of Nashville along I-65 lies the suburb of Franklin, TN. Today, Franklin is a destination for those seeking a day of shopping, culture, and Southern charm. 159 years ago, Franklin was the destination of General John Bell Hood and his Army of Tennessee, desperate for a victory and in need of a life giving spark to preserve the Confederate mission. CEO of the Battle of Franklin Trust Eric Jacobson and Chief Historian for the BOFT Joseph Ricci bring their knowledge and experience to the fireside in the Wabash Inn Mess Season One finale to talk about the history of the battle, the preservation efforts past and present, and translating the bloody Battle of Franklin to the Johnny Reb III table top. We hope you enjoy this presentation, and we hope that you will take advantage of TWIM's holiday hiatus to catch up on past episodes.
