USA. Titian J Coffey took interim office as US Attorney-General.

CSA: Confederate Brigadier-General and former Judge Advocate-General Edwin Gray Lee, who had been suffering from ill health, departed for Canada. He was given a clandestine mission but after running the blockade he did not arrive at his destination until April 1865 and was unable to carry out the plan. In the meantime, in February 1865, his commission as Brigadier-General was revoked.

Arkansas. Expedition from Little Rock to Benton ended.

Arkansas. Operation in central Arkansas ended.

Florida. A Union boat expedition under the command of Acting Master Charles H Cadieu from USS Midnight landed at St Andrew’s Bay, destroyed a salt works, and took prisoners.

Georgia. Skirmish near Dalton.

Georgia. Skirmish at Louisville.

Georgia. After two days of rest, Union Major-General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick was given the opportunity to strike a blow against the opposing cavalry of Major-General Joseph Wheeler with his own cavalry division and the accompanying infantry division (3/XIV) of Brigadier-General Absalom Baird. He marched from Louisville towards Waynesboro, seeking to engage the enemy cavalry at every opportunity.

Louisiana. Expedition from Baton Rouge to the Mobile & Ohio Railroad ended.

Nebraska Territory. Operations against Indians ended.

North Carolina. News reached Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant that Confederate troops were being withdrawn from the garrison at Wilmington, in order to oppose the advance of Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman towards Augusta, Georgia. Sherman was actually heading for Savannah, but the information offered encouragement for the prospects of Union Major-General Benjamin Franklin Butler’s plans to attack Fort Fisher, near Wilmington. Butler continued to prevaricate and experiment with his proposed “floating bomb” and did not set a departure date for his expedition to attack Fort Fisher.

South Carolina. Acting on faulty intelligence that Union prisoners of war were attempting to reach the blockading fleet after escaping from a prisoner train en route to Savannah, Acting Master Isaac Pennell set out with five boats and nearly 100 men from USS Ethan Allen and USS Dai Ching to meet them. They scoured the South Altamaha River for six days but failed to find the escapees. After encountering and engaging a considerable Confederate force, Pennell was compelled to withdraw to the ships.

Honey Hill, South Carolina, also known as Grahamville. Union Major-General John Porter Hatch was directed by Major-General John Gray Foster to move from Hilton Head and to occupy Boyd’s Neck with an expeditionary force of 5,500 men of the Coast Division (South) and three batteries with 10 guns. Hatch’s force included a Naval Brigade of 350 sailors and 150 Marines from ships of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, commanded by Commander George Henry Preble. The expedition was ordered to ascend the Broad River to cut the Charleston & Savannah Railway, ready to establish contact with Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s forces marching across Georgia towards Savannah. Hatch was ordered also to cut off Confederate reinforcements heading for Savannah. The expedition left Hilton Head on 28 November and steamed up the Broad River. Heavy fog delayed the disembarkation from the transports until late in the afternoon of 29 November. They disembarked at Boyd’s Landing on Broad River, about three miles south of Grahamville Station, and immediately headed for the railroad. The available maps and guides proved worthless and Hatch was unable to proceed on the right road until the morning of 30 November.
At Honey Hill, Hatch encountered a Confederate force of 1,400 to 1,500 regular soldiers and militia, supported by seven guns, under Colonel Charles J Colcock, and directed by Major-General Gustavus Woodson Smith. The Confederate militia had only arrived that day after their long retreat from Macon through Albany and Thomasville. These 1,400 men were the last available remnant of 5,000 militiamen who had served at Atlanta during the summer. The Confederates took up a position facing a swamp-bound causeway and repelled both frontal and flanking attacks. The determined assaults by the 2nd USCT Brigade of the Coast Division under Colonel Alfred S Hartwell (including the 54th Massachusetts Infantry and the 55th Massachusetts Infantry) failed to capture the Confederate entrenchments or to cut the railroad.  The 1st Brigade of the Coast Division of Brigadier-General Edward Elmer Potter and Preble’s Naval Brigade also attacked, but to no avail. Only two Union guns could be brought to bear and at nightfall Hatch conceded that he could neither assault nor outflank the enemy position. Hatch retired after dark to his transports at Boyd’s Neck.
Foster then decided that his next thrust should pass up the Tulifinny River toward Pocataligo. Union casualties were reported as 755 men (88 or 89 killed, 623 or 629 wounded, and 28 or 44 missing). Confederate casualties amounted to 50 men (8 killed and 39 or 42 wounded). (CWSAC Formative Battle – Confederate Victory)

Tennessee. The first two divisions of Union Major-General George Henry Thomas’ Army of the Cumberland began to arrive in the fortifications of Nashville. These were Major-General Andrew Jackson Smith’s Detachment, Army of the Tennessee, completing their long journey from Louisiana via Mississippi and Missouri. Smith also brought with him the Provisional Division of XVII Corps which had been operating independently in Mississippi since the Red River campaign early in 1864. Thomas continued to gather troops and awaited the arrival of the Army of the Ohio (IV Corps and XXIII Corps) from Franklin. Thomas decided not to launch an immediate counter-offensive against the Confederate invaders, preferring to hold and improve the powerful fortifications of Nashville until a more opportune moment arose. He also wanted to buy time to remount thousands of cavalrymen in Brigadier-General James Harrison Wilson’s command, so that he could conduct an effective pursuit after any battle.

Thompson’s Station, Tennessee. During the night, Confederate Brigadier-General Lawrence Sullivan Ross’ cavalry brigade attempted to block the passage of the Union supply trains two miles north of Spring Hill at Thompson’s Station, capturing some wagons from the supply train, until the accompanying Union infantry drove them off. The Union cavalry under Brigadier-General James Harrison Wilson was not present to guard the trains as they had already withdrawn along the Lewisburg road towards Franklin.

Franklin, Tennessee. Union Major-General John McAllister Schofield’s Army of the Ohio numbered about 27,000 men. It consisted of IV Corps (Cumberland) commanded by Major-General David Sloane Stanley (divisions of Brigadier-General Nathan Kimball, Brigadier-General George Day Wagner, and Brigadier-General Thomas Joseph Wood), and XXIII Corps, commanded temporarily by Brigadier-General Jacob Dolson Cox (divisions of Brigadier-General Thomas Hewson Ruger and Brigadier-General James William Reilly). The Cavalry Corps was commanded by Major-General James Harrison Wilson (divisions of Brigadier-General Edward Moody McCook, Brigadier-General Edward Hatch, Brigadier-General Richard William Johnson, and Brigadier-General Joseph Farmer Knipe).
Schofield’s advance guard arrived in Franklin at about 4:30 am after a forced march all through the night from Columbia through the crossroads at Spring Hill. By 6 am, all of Schofield’s army had escaped the trap at Spring Hill behind and all five divisions were approaching Franklin. Schofield decided to defend Franklin with his back to the river because he had been forced to destroy his pontoon trains in his hasty retreat from Columbia. The pontoon train requested from Nashville two days earlier had not yet arrived. Schofield needed time for this to arrive. He also began to repair and strengthen the permanent bridges spanning the river, a burned wagon bridge that had been demolished by rising waters, and an intact railroad bridge. He ordered his engineers to rebuild the wagon bridge and to lay planking over the undamaged railroad bridge to enable it to carry wagons and troops.
Cox’s division (3/XXIII) arrived first and immediately began preparing strong defensive positions around the deteriorated entrenchments originally constructed in 1863. Cox’s division, under Reilly, began to entrench to the left of the turnpike. The next division to arrive, Ruger’s, dug in on the right of the turnpike half a mile south of the town. When Wood’s and Kimball’s divisions of IV Corps arrived at mid-morning, they extended the line and began digging their own defences. By noon, the Union works were well advanced, with ground cleared in front of them, and the engineers were finishing the improvised railroad bridge. The army’s supply train had been parked in the side streets of Franklin to keep the main pike open. The wagons began to cross the river by noon, first via a ford next to the burned-out pike bridge, and later in the afternoon by two makeshift bridges.
The Union line counted about 34,000 men and 64 guns and held an approximate semicircle around the town, running from northwest to southeast. The other half of the circle was formed by the Harpeth River. Counter-clockwise from the northwest were the divisions of Kimball (IV Corps), Ruger (XXIII Corps), and Reilly (XXIII Corps). A gap in the line existed where the Columbia Pike entered the outskirts of the town, which was left open to allow passage of the wagons. The Carter House and a cotton gin were located on either side of the gap, and both were substantial and defensible buildings. The Carter House was appropriated as Cox’s headquarters. The Carter House and cotton gin building formed a minor salient in the Union earthworks so, about 200 feet behind this gap, a 150-yard “retrenchment” line was constructed of dirt and rails. This was to act as a barrier to traffic and was not a full-fledged defensive earthwork. The vital gap was defended by Battery A 1st Kentucky Artillery. The men of the 44th Missouri Infantry extended the retrenchment further to the west with hastily dug rifle pits.
The earthworks on the southern portion of the line were formidable, having been built over the remains of old fortifications. Attacking infantry would be confronted by a ditch about four feet wide and two to three feet deep, then a wall of earth and wooden fence rails four feet above the normal ground level, and finally, a trench three to four feet deep in which the defenders stood, aiming their weapons through narrow “head gaps” formed by logs. In the southeastern portion of the line, dense shrubs formed an almost impenetrable abattis.
Schofield established his headquarters in the Alpheus Truett house, a half-mile north of the Harpeth on the Nashville Pike, although he would spend most of his time during the battle in Fort Granger, an artillery position northeast of the town. From here he could see the entire field, although he was across the river from the action. Wood’s division of IV Corps and all of Wilson’s cavalry also crossed north of the Harpeth, ready to respond to any outflanking attempt or to repel a river crossing.
Wagner’s division was the last to arrive from Spring Hill, and after briefly stopping at Winstead Hill, he ordered two of his brigades under Colonel John Q Lane, and Colonel Joseph Conrad (who had replaced Colonel Luther Prentiss Bradley, wounded at Spring Hill) to stop and dig in as best they could on the flat ground about a half-mile forward of the main line. Stanley had earlier ordered Wagner to hold Winstead Hill to observe the Confederate approach unless he was pressed hard, in which case the division would retire and become a general reserve behind the main line. Wagner posted Colonel Emerson Opdycke’s brigade on Winstead Hill. As soon as the Confederates approached, Opdycke followed orders and pulled his brigade back along the Columbia Pike, and through the Union line into a reserve position behind the Carter House gap. He formed up a hundred yards behind the line around the Carter House.
When the Confederates approached at about noon, Schofield initially assumed that they were only demonstrating, just as they had at Columbia. He expected the enemy to cross the Harpeth upstream or downstream in order to turn the Union position once again. He did not expect that the Confederates would attack his strong defensive line frontally. By 3 pm, most of the Union supply trains were across the Harpeth and moving along the road to Nashville, so Schofield issued orders for a general withdrawal over the river at 6 pm if the army had not been engaged.
When Confederate General John Bell Hood Confederate John Bell Hood discovered the escape of the Union army from Spring Hill, he held an angry conference with his subordinate commanders. He blamed them for the failure to trap the retreating enemy. Major-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham, in particular, was singled out for blame. Hood believed that Cheatham had mishandled the engagement at Spring Hill, but further investigation revealed a catalogue of errors, of which Cheatham’s were only a small part. Hood later rescinded his request to relieve Cheatham of his Corps command in the Army of Tennessee. Hood’s men marched in pursuit from Spring Hill, but the march was not pressed vigorously as the Union column was now too distant to be caught. Hood’s Army of Tennessee numbered about 39,000 men and consisted of Cheatham’s Corps (divisions of Major-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne, Major-General John Calvin Brown, and Major-General William Brimage Bate), Lieutenant-General Stephen Dill Lee’s Corps (divisions of Major-General Edward Johnson, Major-General Carter Littlepage Stevenson, and Major-General Henry Delamar Clayton) and Lieutenant-General Alexander Peter Stewart’s Corps (divisions of Major-General William Wing Loring, Major-General Samuel Gibb French, and Major-General Edward Cary Walthall). Hood’s cavalry forces were led by Major-General Nathan Bedford Forrest (divisions of Brigadier-General James Ronald Chalmers, Brigadier-General Abraham Buford, and Brigadier-General William Hicks Jackson).
Stewart’s Corps led the Confederate pursuit from Spring Hill to Franklin. They arrived and began to move into position south of Winstead Hill, two miles south of Franklin on the turnpike, between 1 pm and 2 pm. Cheatham’s Corps followed behind, with Johnson’s attached division. Lee’s Corps was about another three hours behind, as it had to cross the Duck River at Columbia before joining the main body of the army. Hood’s objective was to try to crush Schofield against the Harpeth River before the Union troops could reach Nashville, where the defensive fortifications were considerably stronger and where there were substantial Union reinforcements and ample supplies. Hood was concerned that if he attempted to turn Schofield by crossing the Harpeth elsewhere to get between him and Nashville, the manoeuvre would be too time-consuming. and the open terrain of the area would prematurely reveal his movements, prompting Schofield to escape.
Hood did not want to waste time engaging the Union brigade and battery on Winstead Hill, astride the turnpike, and he directed the three divisions of Stewart’s Corps to advance on the right along Henpeck Road. The Union outpost soon evacuated its advanced position on Winstead Hill and the four divisions of Cheatham’s Corps carried on up the turnpike as the Union troops left Winstead Hill and fell back along the turnpike. Reaching the crest of Winstead Hill, they saw the wide valley of the Harpeth ahead of them and the earthworks occupied by the Union army. Sunset was early at 4:34 pm and Hood ordered an immediate frontal assault in the dwindling afternoon light. His decision to make a frontal attack caused dismay among his generals. Cheatham protested briefly that such an assault was futile, but he was silenced by Hood’s reproach that an attack would have to take place here and now against hastily prepared defences or later against the much stronger ones at Nashville. Forrest added his own objections and added that if he were given a division of infantry to accompany his cavalry, he could outflank Schofield from his position within an hour. Hood said that a flank attack was unfeasible and would take too long to develop. He divided Forrest’s cavalry, placing Brigadier-General James Ronald Chalmers’ division on the far left beyond Bate’s division. Brigadier-General Abraham Buford’s and Brigadier-General William Hicks Jackson’s divisions remained with Forrest, covering Stewart’s Corps and facing the fords on the Harpeth. Lee’s Confederate Corps and almost all of the army’s artillery had not yet arrived from Columbia twelve miles to the south. Without Lee, Hood’s available attacking force was about 19,000 to 20,000 men They would have to traverse two miles of open ground with only two batteries of artillery to support them before assaulting well-prepared fortifications held by superior numbers and 60 guns.
Cheatham’s Corps was on the left of the assault and was directed to advance due north on either side of the Columbia Turnpike. His divisions were deployed with French on the left, Walthall in the middle on the railroad, and Loring on the right. Stewart’s Corps would attack on the right flank along the railroad and the Lewisburg Pike which ran northwest along the near bank of the Harpeth. His divisions were deployed with Bate on the left, extending as far as Carter’s Creek Pike which ran north-eastwards, then Brown in the centre, and then Cleburne adjoining French. Johnson’s division of Lee’s Corps formed the reserve. The three turnpikes converged on Franklin, funnelling the Confederates towards the town.
Between 3.30 and 4 pm, with one hour remaining until sunset at 4.34 pm, the Confederates launched a frontal advance with six divisions and minimal artillery support, impressing the watching Union defenders with the grandeur and style of their mile-wide formation. Bate’s division on the left had marched around the Union outpost on Winstead Hill to reach its starting point, delaying the start of the entire army. The two Union brigades of Wagner’s division on the Columbia Pike were meant to withdraw at the first sign of an attack but the Confederate approach was invisible at the location where Wagner, the divisional commander, was stationed. The rest of the Union army saw the attack by Cleburne’s and Brown’s divisions, which quickly enveloped the 3,000 men in Wagner’s two brigades of Lane and Conrad. They attempted to stand their ground briefly behind their inadequate fieldworks and without anchored flanks, but quickly collapsed under the pressure. As Wagner exhorted his men to stand fast, they let loose a single strong volley of rifle fire. Many of the veteran soldiers stampeded back along the Columbia Pike for safety in the main breastworks, while the untried replacements were reluctant to move under fire and many of them were captured. A two-gun section of Battery G 1st Ohio Light Artillery fought back at close range but was soon put out of action and overrun. Nearly 700 of Wagner’s men became prisoners. Wagner’s fleeing troops were closely pressed by the Confederates; both the pursued and the pursuers became so intermingled that the defenders in the breastworks had to hold their fire to avoid hitting their comrades.
The momentary inability to defend the opening in the works created a weak spot in the Union line at the Columbia Pike between the Carter House and the cotton gin. Cleburne’s, Brown’s, and French’s Confederate divisions converged determinedly towards this vulnerable sector and a number of their troops broke through the Union defences on either side. The 100th Ohio Infantry of Reilly’s brigade was driven back from its position to the east of the pike and Colonel Silas Strickland’s brigade (Ruger’s division) was forced to withdraw back to the Carter House. The left wing of the 72nd Illinois Infantry got swept away and rallied on the 183rd Ohio Infantry, which was in reserve at the retrenchment. This prompted the remainder of the 72nd Illinois Infantry to withdraw back to that line. In a matter of minutes, the Confederates had penetrated deeply into the centre of the Union line and overrun four guns. As the Confederates poured men through the breach, Opdycke’s brigade found itself perfectly placed, positioned in reserve in dense columns of regiments in a meadow about 200 yards north of the Carter House. Opdycke quickly formed his men into a line of battle, straddling the road. Confronting the crowds of fleeing Union soldiers, pursued by the Confederates, Opdycke ordered his brigade forward back to the earthworks. Opdycke’s counterattack was joined by reserve elements of Reilly’s division (the 12th Kentucky Infantry and 16th Kentucky Infantry) as well as survivors of Strickland’s brigade and Wagner’s divisions. Together, they sealed the dangerous breach.
The hand-to-hand fighting around the Carter House and the pike was furious and desperate, employing such weapons as bayonets, rifle butts, entrenching tools, axes, and picks. Firing continued around the Carter house and gardens for hours into the night. Many men from Brown’s division were driven back to the Union earthworks, where they were pinned down for the remainder of the evening, unable to either advance or flee. Each side fired through embrasures or over the top of the parapets at close range in an attempt to dislodge the other. Some Union troops were armed with Spencer repeating rifles and this added to the advantages of the defenders. Near the Carter House, 350 men of the 12th Kentucky Infantry and 65th Illinois Infantry fired their 16-shot Henry rifles to great effect. Brown’s division suffered significant losses. Brown was incapacitated by a shell burst and all four of his brigade commanders also went down: Gordon was captured, Brigadier-General States Rights Gist and Brigadier-General Otho French Strahl were killed, and Brigadier-General John Carpenter Carter was mortally wounded. Gordon’s brigade had angled to the right during the advance, joining Cleburne’s division to the east of the pike. Their attack near the cotton gin was driven back from the breastworks and was then subjected to devastating crossfire from Reilly’s brigade to their front and the brigade of Colonel John S Casement, on Reilly’s right. The inspirational Cleburne was killed in the attack and fourteen of his brigade and regimental commanders became casualties.
While desperate fighting raged at the centre of the Union line, Stewart’s Corps advanced a little later against the Union left. The Harpeth River in that area from flowed southeast to northwest, so the advance proceeded through a progressively narrower space, compressing the brigades together, delaying their movements and weakening their cohesion. Walthall’s division was pressured so much from the right that it moved temporarily across the front of Cleburne’s advance. They were all subjected to fierce artillery fire not only from the main Union line, but also from the batteries across the river at Fort Granger. They encountered significant difficulty pushing through the bristling Osage-orange abattis built by the defenders. Loring’s division launched two attacks against the Union brigade of Colonel Israel N Stiles and both were repulsed with heavy losses. Artillery firing canister rounds directly down the railroad cut prevented any attempt to outflank the Union position. After crossing two miles of open ground against prepared positions they nevertheless achieved some success and a few footholds were gained in the Union works. Confederate Brigadier-General John Adams attempted to rally his brigade by galloping his horse directly onto the earthworks but he was killed while astride the palisade. The Confederate brigade of Brigadier-General Winfield Scott Featherston began falling back under heavy fire when Loring attempted to encourage his men by sitting on his horse in full view of the Union lines for over a minute but, despite his example, the brigade made no further progress. Walthall’s division, intermixed partially with Loring’s division, because of the confusion that resulted from the narrow space, struck Casement’s and Reilly’s brigades in multiple waves of brigade assaults, making as many as six distinct attacks. All of these assaults were turned back with heavy losses. The Confederate brigade of Brigadier-General William Andrew Quarles was able to push through the abattis and reached the Union earthworks, where it was pinned down by murderous crossfire. Not one officer above the rank of captain survived in his brigade. French lost two of his three of his brigade commanders, including Colonel William Witherspoon killed, and Brigadier-General Francis Marion Cockrell severely wounded.
Bate’s division had the longest distance to march to reach its assigned objective on the Union right, and when he gave the final order to attack it was almost dark. Only one brigade hit the Union line and the two left-hand brigades overlapped the end. The first contact with the enemy came around the Everbright Mansion and the Confederates pushed aside Union sharpshooters and swept past the house. Chalmers’ Confederate cavalry division was active on the western flank, but their attack was repulsed by the brigades of Colonel Isaac M Kirby and Brigadier-General Walter Chiles Whitaker of Kimball’s division. Bate was unaware of Chalmers’ efforts because the cavalry was rendered invisible by rolling ground and orchards. Bate believed his left flank was not being protected as expected by Chalmers’ cavalry division. In order to protect the flank, Bate ordered the brigade temporarily commanded by Colonel Robert Bullock to move from its reserve position onto his left flank. This not only delayed the advance, but also weakened the attack on the Union fortifications, and left Bate with no reserve. Neither Bate nor Chalmers made any progress and they withdrew.
Hood, who remained at his headquarters on Winstead Hill, was still convinced that he could pierce the Union line. At about 7 pm, he deployed the single division of Lee’s corps on hand, that of Major-General Edward Johnson, to assist Cheatham’s effort. They moved north on the west side of the Columbia Turnpike and passed around Privet Knob, which was Cheatham’s headquarters. They were hampered because they were unfamiliar with the terrain in the darkness and Cheatham told Lee he had no staff officer left who could guide them. Both Bate and Cheatham warned Lee not to fire indiscriminately against the Union works because Confederates were pinned down there on the outside. Johnson’s men lost their alignment in the dark and struggled to attack the works just to the west of the Carter House. They were repulsed after a single assault with heavy losses, including a brigade commander and nine regimental commanders. Johnson’s forlorn attack had no hope of success. Following the failure of Johnson’s assault, Hood decided to end offensive actions at 9 pm but sporadic fighting continued until 11 pm.
Forrest attempted to stop the enfilade fire coming from Union batteries north of the river into the eastern end of the attacking line. Two Confederate cavalry divisions under Buford and Jackson crossed the Harpeth River east of Franklin and attempted to turn the Union left. Jackson engaged some Union cavalry pickets and pushed them back and crossed the Harpeth at Hughes Ford, about three miles upstream from Franklin at about 3.30 pm. When Wilson, the Union cavalry commander, learned at 3 pm that Forrest was crossing the river, he ordered Hatch’s division to move south from his position on the Brentwood Turnpike and attack Forrest from the front. He ordered Brigadier-General John Thomas Croxton’s brigade to move against Forrest’s flank and held Colonel Thomas J Harrison’s brigade in reserve. The dismounted cavalrymen of Hatch’s division charged the Confederate cavalrymen, also dismounted, and drove them back to the river. Some of Croxton’s men were armed with seven-shot Spencer carbines, which ripped into the Confederate lines mercilessly. The Confederates were forced to retreat across the river after dark.
Hood began to plan a resumed series of attacks in the morning and gave orders for the two divisions of Lee’s Corps that had just arrived to be ready to attack at dawn after an artillery bombardment. On the Union side, Schofield ordered his infantry to cross the river, starting at 11 pm, despite objections from Cox that withdrawal was no longer necessary, and that Hood was fatally weakened and should be counter-attacked. Schofield had received orders from Thomas to evacuate earlier that day, before Hood’s attack began, and he was determined not to disobey those instructions. The opportunity to strike back at Hood’s depleted force was lost. Hood did not attempt to attack the retreating army during the night. The Union army began entering the breastworks at Nashville at noon the following day with Hood’s damaged army far behind in slow pursuit.
The Confederate assault at Franklin by eighteen brigades of almost 20,000 men resulted in devastating and irreplaceable casualties among the men and leaders of the Army of Tennessee. Confederate losses greatly exceeded the casualties they inflicted. The Confederates suffered 6,252 casualties (alternatively 6,261), including 1,750 men killed and 3,800 wounded. Confederate casualties included fourteen generals (six killed or mortally wounded, seven wounded, and one captured), and 55 regimental commanders. On the Union side, the only General lost was Stanley, who was wounded. Union losses were recorded as 2,326 out of 27,939 men engaged (189 killed, 1,033 wounded, and 1,104 missing and captured) but more than half of these and nearly all of the prisoners were from Wagner’s broken division. Schofield would later be promoted Brigadier-General in the US Regular Army, to date from the crushing victory at Franklin. (CWSAC Decisive Battle Union Victory)
