I lived in Franklin from 2000-2013 and was very involved in preservation there. I've blogged on the BoF since 2006. There are hundreds of posts and tons of content about the battle there.
I'd like to get a book discussion going about the Battle of Franklin to lead up to the 150th anniversary (30 Nov).
If you want to join in, let's read one chapter a week starting in August of Jacobson's For Cause & For Country. It would be great if everyone used the Kindle version to make it so much easier to copy/paste text we want to discuss.
I don't know if this has been tried on this forum, or if it will even work, but it sounds like fun. I'll facilitate and keep the discussion moving but feel free to be as active as you want.
I know Eric pretty well so if we get stuck on something maybe I could sway him to join in.
It would be fun if several us met up in Franklin for the 150th for a drink at McCreary's pub in downtown Franklin on November 30th.
Homework by August 1st? Read the entire book. Then, we will go week by week, one chapter at a time in discussion.
Not for the faint of heart.
Who's in?
