Killed at Franklin

Today we went to a really cool tour at the Carnton House which is the burial ground of many confederate soldiers who were killed in the civil war battle of Franklin. One of the bloodiest in Civil War history. I love civil war stuff, so to say the least I enjoyed it… except the docent who was boarder-line creepy. She was a bit obsessed with the amount of amputations and blood stains that apparently occurred at the Carnton house which was used as a field hospital for many of the wounded soldiers. She kind of freaked me out. I would not want to be alone with her at any time. I got the sense that she would love to show you her own personal collection of hack saws.

The moral of this blog is don’t ever be alone with a civil war docent who is obsessed with amputations.

    Thanks for the pictures Bill. I went to some of these places with Leila when we went down when Wil and Kristen were just starting college. I swear I expected to see ghosts in my pictures when I got them developed…none were there though!
