Ride that saved Nashville rallying Stanley at Franklin
An account from the New York Sun recalls General Stanley’s dramatic ride from the north bank to the south during the Franklin battle. Opdycke brigade and Conrad Lane troops retook the works, recovered artillery, and held the line after a Confederate push. Stanley’s wound, his hat raised in triumph, and the decisive counterattack restored Union momentum and aided Thomas’s Nashville defense.
