    The Other Side of the Monument: Memory, Preservation, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville

    THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT: MEMORY, PRESERVATION, AND THE BATTLES OF FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE by JOE R. BAILEY B.S., Austin Peay State University, 2006 M.A., Austin Peay State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory.

BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism.

The collection consists largely of diaries, letters, financial records, sketches, wills, and other documents. Individuals represented include Philip and Margaret Lawrence Lindsley, Adrian Van Sinderen Lindsley, John Berrien and Sallie McGavock Lindsley, William Walker, Luke and Percie Warner Lea, Louise Grundy Lindsley, Annie Lindsley Warden, and Margaret Lindsley Warden, the donor of these papers. Miss Warden had donated two diaries and brought other material for copying as early as the 1960s; the remaining papers were brought to the Tennessee State Library and Archives shortly before her death in 2007. The collection, first processed in 1969, was reprocessed in order to incorporate the new material, eliminate duplicates, and provide a more logical order. Other papers relating to this family, and including 18 letters written by John Berrien Lindsley, may be found in the Margaret (Warner) White (1889-1981) Papers, ca. 1777-1962 (VIII-F3, microfilm #1239). The minute books of the State Board of Education during the period in which Lindsley was its secretary are also part of the TSLA collection.
