Franklin: Reclaiming the Battlefield
Historian Eric Jacobson talks about the opportunity to reclaim one of the most important lost tracts upon the Franklin Battlefield in Tennessee. The Civil War Trust is working to acquire this land so that it can be converted back to its 1864 state - a place that will better commemorate the events of November 30, 1864.
