One of the poignant results of the Battle of Franklin. The Carter House and property still exist as a museum, as does Lotz House and Carnton Plantation. Very much worth a trip to absorb history and the enormity of the ravage of this Civil War battle.During the early morning hours of December 1, 1864, F. B. Carter, two of his daughters, and a daughter-in-law emerged from the cellar of their home and went in search of Tod Carter, who had not been home since 1861. They found him clinging to life barely 200 yards southwest of the house. They brought him home, a doctor did what he could, but the injuries were simply too severe. Tod was soon moved to the front parlor, across the room from which he was born, and the family waited for the inevitable. Outside the carnage, death, suffering, and enormity of the Battle of Franklin stretched almost as far as the eye could see.
This - the day after (Dec 1)the Battle of Franklin, Nov 30. Gen Granbury (Granbury, TX) was killed that day. Gen Hood (Hood County, TX) lead the Confederate forces.
