“When the fortunes of war were against us, the same faithful (Army
of Tennessee) soldiers remained true to their flag, and with rare
exceptions followed it in retreat as they had borne it in advance.”

In Nashville, Tennessee a battle known as the
Battle of Nashville was fought. It was Confederate
forces led by Lt. General John Bell Hood against
Union forces led by Maj. General George H.
Thomas. This battle marked the end of the fighting
in the Western Theater of the Civil War. It was one
of the largest victories achieved by the Union
army. About 2,500 confederate soldiers were
killed and another 4,561 were captured.

the Western Theater of the Civil War. Major General
William T. Sherman led an invasion into Georgia with
Union soldiers in May of 1864. he was opposed by

by John Bell Hood in July. Hood’s army was eventually
besieged in Atlanta and the city was lost on

Following the events at Spring Hill, Tennessee on November 29, 1864, where
two of Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield's Federal infantry corps managed to
escape a trap laid by General John Bell Hood's Army of Tennessee, both
armies moved northward to Franklin, Tennessee. Just before sunrise on
November 30, the two Federal infantry corps arrived in Franklin. Behind
them, stretched out for over seven miles along the Columbia-to-Franklin
Pike, were the 800 wagons of Federal arms and supplies. Brig. Gen. George
D. Wagner's division, of Maj. Gen. David S. Stanley's Fourth Army Corps, had
taken the most casualties at Spring Hill. Despite this, it was Wagner's
division that was acting as rear-guard for the wagon train. Wagner's 1st
Brigade, commanded by Col. Emerson Opdycke, had been battling with the
Confederate cavalry of Maj. Gen. Nathan B. Forrest the entire ten miles from
Spring Hill to the outskirts of Franklin.

The Battle of Gettysburg is known as the turning point in
the Civil War. It was fought in and around Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania. The Confederates were lead by Robert E.
Lee. Both, the Union and the rebels suffered terrible
losses. John Bell Hood was leading an attack on the
extreme right flank of the Union forces. Although he took
casualties he succeeded on pushing back the Union line.
As they were advancing an artillery shell landed near
Hood’s horse, injuring his arm and removing him from the
battle. His arm remained in a sling for the remainder of
his life.
