On the back porch of this house (Carnton Plantation) is where many of the Confederate wounded were brought after the disastrous charge at Franklin, including six generals who lost their lives in the battle - one of them, Cleburne, arguably the best field commander in the western theater at the time...

Other generals killed or mortally wounded were... John C. Carter, John Adams, Hiram B. Granbury, States Rights Gist, and Otho F. Strahl.
