Lots of info here. I’ve never been a big fan of General Hood, mostly because I consider his time as the head of the Army of Tennessee to have been a disaster. Chickamauga was a victory, but it seemed to be more in spite of Hood than because of him. Spring Hill was a debacle, Franklin was a tragedy and Nashville was just a waste.

However, your tour through the Spring Hill and Franklin is interesting and it does beg us to take a closer look at Hood and his tenure as the army’s commander. In some cases, such as Franklin, he was presented a situation with limited options. Attack late in the day or wait till morning and risk Schofield being gone – again – to Nashville where Hood was never going to get him.

Thanks for giving me more to think about with regards to Hood.

That’s a first-rate report. It sounds like a terrific tour, and I’m sorry I missed it.

Thanks for sharing that.
