Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee, witnessed some of the most dramatic events of the American Civil War. During the bloody Battle of Franklin in 1864, the stately Southern mansion became a Confederate field hospital, its rooms and grounds filled with wounded and dying soldiers.With a history encompassing war, death, surgical amputations, family tragedy, plantation life, and generations of unexplained occurrences, it is little wonder that Carnton has also become famous for its ghost stories. In Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories, historian and former Carnton tour guide Lochlainn Seabrook gathers the strange tales, legends, and reported paranormal phenomena associated with Tennessee's celebrated Civil War landmark.Blending ghost lore with carefully presented history, Seabrook explores Carnton Mansion, the McGavock family, the Battle of Franklin, 19th-Century medicine and culture, slavery, and the soldiers whose lives became forever connected with the property.The book includes more than 100 photographs and illustrations, maps of the plantation grounds, a history of Carnton and the Battle of Franklin, a Ghostly Glossary, a McGavock family tree, and a complete list of Confederate soldiers buried in the McGavock Confederate Cemetery.Written for ghost enthusiasts, paranormal researchers, Civil War readers, Southern history buffs, and visitors to historic Franklin, this richly illustrated volume brings together the documented past and the unexplained traditions of one of America's most fascinating historic homes. The foreword is by Austin Cook, former team leader of SyFy Channel's 'Killer Contact'.Historian and former Carnton tour guide Lochlainn Seabrook, recipient of the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and author of numerous works on the Civil War and Southern history, brings firsthand familiarity with Carnton to this fascinating account of its history, legends, and unexplained phenomena.
