I am also working on a Google map for the Battle of Franklin. It is a work under construction but is very useful and interesting. It shows:
- Troops positions and movement
- Contemporary photos of key structures
- Authentic photos of soldiers
- Original written accounts from soldiers and eyewitnesses
It is accessible at www.FranklinBattlefield.com

To become familiar with our interactive Google map of the Battle of Franklin browse through the following links:
- broad troop movements.
- positions of artillery and fortifcations.
- specific historic landmarks like buildings or markers.
- location where key indidviduals were killed or wounded during the action.
Comments from our guests?
I will be making my first trip to Franklin next week, after years of reading everything I can find about those five incredible hours. Your Google map with the positions overlaid on the current city layout is a dream. I can’t imagine getting even close to an idea of the field without it. I have printed off several views from that map to take with me, and only wish I had a laptop to make use of the interactive features while on the field. Thanks for your work and your obvious passion.
Steve
