Fortified railroad bridge across Cumberland River

Nashville, Tennessee Fortified railroad bridge across Cumberland River

Here for your enjoyment is an absorbing photograph of Nashville, Tennessee Fortified railroad bridge across Cumberland River. It was created in 1864 by Barnard, George N., 1819-1902.

The photo illustrates War in the West. These photographs are of Hood before Nashville. Continuing his policy of the offensive at any cost, Gen. John B. Hood brought his reduced army before the defenses of Nashville, where it was overthrown by Gen. George H. Thomas on December 15-16, in the most complete victory of the war. If the date borne on this photograph is correct, it was taken in the course of the battle.
