“For the past two years, I’ve headed up Franklin’s Charge: A Vision and Campaign for the Preservation of Historic Open Space [www.franklinscharge.com] in the fight to secure and preserve both battlefield and other historic open space in Williamson County. Franklin’s Charge has taken on the massive mission of saving what remains of the eastern flank of the battlefield at Franklin – the largest remaining undeveloped fragment of the battlefield – and turning it into public battlefield park which will, in my dreams, eventually run from the Lotz and Carter Houses [www.carter-house.org] on Columbia Avenue to Ft. Granger and Carnton Plantation, with significant holdings around Breezy and Winstead Hills.[www.civilwarinteractive.com]“
