Shot Bullet from the Battle of Franklin Tennessee with Display Case and COA
The Battle of Franklin was one of the last great battles of the American Civil War. Fate and circumstance placed the small town of Franklin in the path of two great armies in late November 1864. Gen. John Bell Hood, at the head of the Confederate Army of Tennessee, which numbered just over 30,000, marched his army toward Nashville after having lost Atlanta in September. His hope was to retake the lost Tennessee capital, which had fallen to U. S. troops in early 1862. A Federal army, commanded by Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield, was sent from Georgia by Maj. Gen. William Sherman to Middle Tennessee with orders to slow Hood’s advance. Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. George Henry Thomas organized defenses just outside Nashville.
A shot bullet that was found at Franklin. Each bullet comes in a matted display case (3" x 4") stating location where found.
