The battle of Franklin

Our book club is reading for May: Widow of the South by Robert Hicks. It is the story of the Civil War battle in Franklin, TN. Franklin is just down the road from where I live. It is the tale of Carrie McGavock whose home, Carnton, was used as a hospital for that battle which occurred around her area. After the battle, she and her husband buried 1,500 of the fallen soldiers on their property. So we are going to see that Civil War Cemetery tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing the house too.
