The Encyclopedia of the Battle of Franklin, by award-winning author, Civil War scholar, and Southern historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, is the ultimate guidebook for all those interested in this truly momentous conflict. For tourists it's an imperative traveling companion; for Civil War buffs and scholars an indispensable reference; for history students an essential educational tool; and for the casual reader a fascinating chronicle of one of American history’s most significant political and military struggles.
 
With nearly 1,000 entries on subjects ranging from Confederate and Union regiments to biographies of important figures associated with the battle, the work also includes hundreds of illustrations, maps, and photos, eyewitness descriptions of the fight, a full list of the Rebel dead at the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, and a complete record of both the C.S. and U.S. forces present on the Franklin battlefield November 30, 1864.
 
This Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition, the first and only encyclopedia ever written that is devoted solely to a single Civil War battle, also includes official battle reports, command structure charts, an entry index, genealogical information, a 1,000 book bibliography, and 19th-Century tributes to Confederate officers who perished at the Battle of Franklin.
 
In addition, Col. Seabrook generously provides material on the battles that immediately preceded it (Columbia and Spring Hill) as well as those that followed it (Nashville and Franklin III), covering nearly every war related historical site on the popular “Antebellum Trail” that today runs through Middle Tennessee. This handy detailed compendium is destined to become a classic in its field.
