Travel Back to the Battle of Franklin

I reconnected with an old friend recently, historian and curator of the Carter House in Franklin, TN, David Fraley.

Last year, Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family met David while visiting the battleground and museum and was deeply impressed by the experience of walking the historic grounds with such a knowledgeable historian and expert storyteller.

Dr. Dobson returned with an audio crew to record an interview with David, capturing the powerful and poignant description of the tragic Battle of Franklin through the articulate, gentle voice of my friend. It’s a powerful story of the American Civil War, so be warned: you’ll hear some gruesome, horrific details.

To learn more about this event in our nation’s history, visit the Focus on the Family Web site and listen to David:
