The Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864 / A statement of the erroneous claims made by General Schofield, and an exposition of the blunder which opened the battle

The author presents a focused investigation of a Civil War engagement in Tennessee, challenging official accounts and attributing the engagement's disastrous opening to the inattention and misjudgment of a senior commander who remained at headquarters while enemy preparations unfolded. Drawing on eyewitness testimony, orders, and contemporaneous reports, the narrative accuses other staff officers of conflicting or falsified claims, examines the deposition of a division commander, and credits an improvised counteraction by a subordinate with preventing catastrophe. The pamphlet calls for accountability, exposes contradictions in official reports, and argues that ambition and collusion distorted the established record.
