You are looking at an educational picture of Nashville, Tennessee Federal outer line; another view. It was taken in 1864 by Barnard, George N., 1819-1902.
The picture presents 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.
We have created this collection of pictures primarily to serve as an easy to access educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
