National Historical Landmark- Franklin Battlefield

Early on the afternoon of November 30, 1864, Gen. John Bell Hood, against the advice of his staff, ordered his Army of Tennessee to attack Union forces under the command of Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield.

Numerous assaults were made against the entrenched Federals; each assault was repulsed. The huge losses sustained by Hood's army helped doom his Tennessee campaign.
