Battle of Franklin

Post by cruces »

For those that have the game, and for the AotT, a free download from Google about the battle written by Major General Jacob D. Cox XXIII Corps published in 1897

http://books.google.com/books?id=axIdAA ... &q&f=false

The General played an important part in the battle

During the Atlanta, Franklin-Nashville, and Carolinas campaigns of 1864–65, Cox commanded the 3rd Division of the XXIII Corps of the Army of the Ohio, under Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield. He is widely credited with saving the center of the Union battle line at the Battle of Franklin in November 1864.

He later became Governor of Ohio

(PS-I hate the link-If you go to Google books and search Battle of Franklin, you find it quickly
