April 10, 1863---The First Battle of Franklin, Tennessee



APRIL 10, 1863:          

The First Battle of Franklin, Tennessee. 

The Federals hold Franklin, Tennessee. Confederate forces blunder into Union forces, skirmish, and then withdraw. Hearing that another Confederate force has attacked Brentwood, Tennessee, the Union troops rush to the town. When this turns out to be disinformation, the Federals renew their attack near Franklin. Although the Union forces are beaten back, the Confederates break off the attack and retreat, leaving the Federals still in control of Franklin.
