Dreams of the past...

[Mark MacKenzie]

On Sunday, I watched as 25 or so Confederate re-enactors and their cavalry (three horses) marched down Columbia Pike from Winstead Hill in Franklin, Tennessee just as Hood's army of 30,000 men did in 1864. Franklin was a horrific battle. It was good to see the lay of the land even though quite developed. I wanted to get a tingle up and down my spine but it just didn't happen.

The battle scenes from the new Lincoln movie look pretty gruesome and accurate.
