  • 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.

  • Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Marker
    Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Markers Installed as of 6/9/11 Note: Some sites include multiple markers. 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. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse. The Underground Railroad: located at 503 West Hill Ave., Friendsville, TN 37737.

  • Two Gallant Leaders at the Battle of Murfreesboro*
    TWO GALLANT LEADERS AT THE BATTLE OF MURFREESBORO* Harris D. Riley, Jr., M.D. *From the Children's Hospital of Oklahoma, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma "In the cedar-brakes that border the stream of 23 Stone River, in Tennessee, was fought on the last day of 1862 an action that must always be memorable in the history of war. When first its story was flashed over the land, men only saw that a battle, fierce and terrible beyond all previous example in the West, had been delivered. But when the true relations of this contest came to be apprehended, it was perceived to have a weight and meaning beyond that which attaches to any mere passage of arms--it was seen that it bore upon the whole life of the rebellion. .We readily discern that it is one of those few pivotal actions upon which, in very truth, turned the whole issue of the war (1)." This is how William Swinton in his The Twelve Decisive Battles of the War characterized the Civil War battle of Murfreesboro (or Stones River) in Middle Tennessee which took place on December 31, 1862- January 2, 1863. As battles go, the fierce and far-reaching encounter at Murfreesboro between Braxton Bragg 's Confederate Army of Tennessee and William Rosecrans ' s Federal Army of the Cumberland ranks as one of the bloodiest ever (2). Heroes were numerous on each side at Murfreesboro. Of the many, I have selected two — one from each side — to tell about because of the key role each played in the battle.

Railroad tracks run next to the museum and the mountain. In an obscure, dusty corner of that museum sits a Carnegie Medal for heroism. What is that medal doing there and what is the story behind it? In December of 2011 I began a journey to discover the history of the medal and its man. The mere presence of that medal and its obscurity reveal much about a man, a place, a region, and a time in our history. Along the way, I have had the chance to more deeply understand my own history.

  • Larry J. Daniel, Battle of Stones River: the Forgotten Conflict Between the Confederate Army of Tennessee and the Union Army of the Cumberland
    2 October 2015 2015–090 Larry J. Daniel, Battle of Stones River: The Forgotten Conflict between the Confederate Army of Tennessee and the Union Army of the Cumberland . Baton Rouge: Louisiana State Univ. Press, 2012. Pp. xiii, 313. ISBN 978–0–8071–4516–6. Review by Ciarán Dean-Jones, The University of Virginia ([email protected]). In Battle of Stones River , historian Larry Daniel 1 recounts one of the Civil War’s decisive engagements. Though his narrative will challenge readers unfamiliar with the niceties of Civil War tactics and military organization, he is commendably methodical in arguing for the political and diplomatic significance of the battle. He gives close attention to the role that politics played in the fortunes of the military leaders he ex- amines, highlighting, in particular, the animosities and suspicions the two opposing commanders— Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg and Union Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans—had to contend with, both in the ranks and in the wider civilian world. Daniel’s explication of the inherently political nature of military con- flict is the strength of his book. There are some drawbacks here, however. First, the author should have provided more vivid recreations of the maneuvers he describes or at least simplified their narratives. Ten of the book’s twelve chapters amount to a protracted, monotonous rehearsal of movement and countermovement. The following account of a confrontation between Brig. Gen. Thomas Wood and Col. Samuel Beatty on the morning of 31 Decem- ber 1862 is typical. McCown, under orders from Hardee, gave Ector’s and McNair’s brigades little time to rest.

  • 36Th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers
    The 36th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia July and August, 1863 Compiled by Robert E. Nale with significant contributions by Jean A. Suloff and the Mifflin County Historical Society On June 29, 1963, Albert W. Nale was enrolled in Company H, 36th Pennsylvania Militia Volunteers, to serve ninety days. He was discharged at Harrisburg, Pa. on August 11, 1863. It is stated that he was born in Mifflin County, was 18 years old, five feet eight inches tall, Dark? complexion, blue eyes, light hair and by occupation a farmer. Captain William A. Nelson was his company commander and Colonel Ralph McClay commanded the regiment at its discharge. Following is the material I have been able to find on the 36th PVM and on the other “emergency” troops formed by the state of Pennsylvania and other states when it appeared that the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia was about to invade Pennsylvania. A fuller treatment of this subject can be found in: Edwin B. Coddington; The Gettysburg Campaign: A Study in Command; Scribners; 1968. Chapter VI, “Pennsylvania Prepares for Invasion.” The reports of the various regimental commanders of the militia units are not in the Official Records and would have to be researched at the Pennsylvania archives in Harrisburg. This does not pretend to be a history of the regiment but rather a compilation of whatever information I could find about it. Contributions of further information would be welcomed by myself and by the Mifflin County Historical Society. Addresses as follows: Robert E. Nale – P.O.

He has sought, chiefly, to bring to notice those matters which have escaped the attention of former writers. In doing this, his labors have been greatly augmented by the loss of the Public Records of the county, and the destruction of private papers, in the great fire of July 30th, 1864. He trusts, however, that he has brought together many things connected with the Past, that cannot fail to interest the general reader ; and in the 7c] Lists of C jngressional, Judicial and other Public Oflicers of , 3t times, he believes the people will find a Record both iful and interesting.
