Confederate Assaults at Stones River (Murfreesboro)

[@ambu6478]

I'm a 69 year old man who lives in Western Tennessee. My Great Great Grandfather, William Lewis Sanders, was killed here at The Battle of Stones River on December 31st, 1862. He owned a small farm in Gibson County and his reason for enlisting in The Confederate Army was the issue of States Rights! I salute his bravery and standing for something he believed in!!

I've been to this battlefield with my family. Very cool place to see and walk around.

Enjoyed the comment about empowering lower level leadership. A great lesson for today!

The rangers have all been excellent but this guys has just been so incredible, he has definitely been my favorite so far

I hope you can detail the Tullahoma Campaign. Usually overlooked sandwiched between Gettysburg and Vicksburg. Most brilliant tactical moves by the Union during the war. Rosecrans is underappreciated.

I have been talking to Garry about this campaign. I do tours of it.

@@gregbiggs5674 I hope it can be done

[@earlyriser8998]

a battle i know little about and love the video explaining it

[@exposethenwo6491]

Unfortunately largely overlooked by 20th century historians because it didn't involve Grant or Lee. Civil War scholarship in this century has been more well rounded. William Rosecrans, George Thomas and Nathan Bedford Forrest should receive more recognition.

Never realized how important Stone's River was

It's largely overlooked by 20th century historians because it didn't involve Grant or Lee. Thankfully scholarship in recent years has been much better.

I'm grateful to those scholars who have brought out the significance of the Battle of Stones River. Also guys like my friend NPS Ranger, Jim Lewis, who has dedicated so much of his career to understanding its importance and the proper interpretation of the history there.

Thanks for this entire series, very well done.

[@nathanfisher1826]

[@Nethanel773]

Thank you for putting this up.

Looks a bit like the Pickett's charge ground at Gettysburg. A bit shorter ground to cover maybe.

[@2DSTORMS]

The "Pickett's Charge" of Stone's River

[@Over_awed]

That and McFadden's Ford .... the charge over the river was the worst decision in military history

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

He fought with McDowell NC 60th Co K
