On this episode of Battles & Banter, Avery is joined by Rich Condon of "Civil War Pittisburgh" and Patrick McGuire of "The History Things Podcast" to discuss the Civil War Battle of Franklin, Tennessee (November 30, 1864). This will be the first battle from the Western theater of the American Civil War that the BnB squad has talked about. The guys will discuss the importance of John Bell Hood's Tennessee Campaign of late 1864 and how the Battle of Franklin was the battle that broke the Confederate Army of Tennessee's back. Enjoy!
