Battle of Franklin
Tennessee
November 30, 1864
This fabulous painting depicts the moment when
Captain Tod Carter volunteers to lead his former regiment,
the 20th Tennessee Infantry in a charge toward the Union Lines
entrenched just South of Franklin Tennessee; Tod's home. Tod
Carter had been promoted from the ranks of the 20th to Adjutant
in the Confederate Army of Tennessee. Major General John Schofield's
Federal infantry were entrenched just yards from Tod's home
doorstep along the Columbia Turnpike. Tod Led the 20th Tennessee
forward astride his Dapple Gray Horse Rosencrantz shouting
"Follow me Boys, I'm Almost Home!"
Theirs was just a small part of a massive
assault ordered by General John Bell Hood as a result of frustration
after having let Schofield's Federal Army slip though a well-placed
trap at Spring Hill Tennessee. Within five of what has come
to be known as the most tragic and devastating hours of the
American Civil War; Hood Hurled over 20,000 men; the flower
of his Army into the muzzles of the Schofield's Musket and
artillery fire. Six of the Confederate Army's rising star
field commanders including General Patrick Cleburne, John
Adams, States Rights Gist, Otho Strahl, Hiram Granbury, and
John C. Carter were killed in the assault.
65 Field Grade officers in total were lost
and some regiments suffered a 64% casualty rate. Tod Carter
was mortally wounded with nine bullet wounds within 175 yards
from his doorstep. This was where Tod's father, Fountain Branch
Carter would find his son on the morning of December 1st 1864
and bring him home where he would eventually die. Having been
away from home in over three and a half years Tod would die
in his front parlor with his father and family gathered around
him.
"In times of peace,
sons bury fathers -
In times of War,
fathers bury sons."
Shown in this Painting are Tod Carter Astride
his Horse Rosencrantz. Colonel William M. Shy Commanding the
20th Tennessee Regiment and Brigadier General Thomas Benton
Smith.
