The Battles Of Franklin And Nashville: Hood’s March into Tennessee

Описание: John Bell Hood’s Blunders: The Tennessee Gamble The fall of Atlanta was only the beginning. Confederate General John Bell Hood, battered but unbowed, now set his sights on Tennessee. But what followed was not a campaign of glory — it was a march into madness.

Why did Jefferson Davis’s visit to the Army leave soldiers silent and unimpressed? What command shakeups tore apart the fragile trust between Hood and his generals? How did Sherman, ever the fox, counter Hood’s every move with cunning countermarches and relentless pursuit?

From railroad raids and espionage dramas to the surreal train scramble at Allatoona… from French’s missteps to the bloody hand-to-hand struggle that became one of the war’s most brutal small battles… Hood’s army staggered from Cave Spring to Jacksonville, tearing up tracks and chasing dreams that dissolved into smoke.

What politics, plots, and personalities shaped this doomed gamble? Why did Hood believe audacity could save him, when every mile marched only deepened disaster? And what legacy did this campaign leave — not just for Hood, but for the Confederacy itself?

Stay with us, because this is not just a story of battles. It is a saga of missteps and madness, of ambition colliding with reality, and of a general whose blunders sealed the fate of his army."*
