farrargirl1. An earlier book by Wiley Sword which maintains his gift of compelling narrative, but is specific to one particular battle. His book will capture your heart, as Sword often does, but may be haunting in it’s graphic account of the “Bloody Battle of Franklin”, in which six Confederate Generals were killed in less than five hours.
