Headquarters, Hospitals & Hood's Leg (Fact or Fiction?) at Tunnel Hill

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Join us at the Clisby Austin House in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, for an exclusive tour with Chickamauga expert Dave Powell. The house hosted the medical treatment of Confederate General John Bell Hood after the Battle of Chickamauga, and also served as Union General William T. Sherman's Headquarters after the Chattanooga Campaign. Then, Powell and our very own Garry Adelman take you to the questionable site of where John Bell Hood's amputated leg is said to be buried.

The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
Love learning about all aspects of the war whether it’s the battles or how it affected the civilians. Great video. I’ve been there and still learned a lot of new things.
I like this content as well.
Good presentation of facts, but I wish he was more focused on his oral presentation.
I’ve been there. Pretty cool.
I wonder if they can scan the ground and find what’s in there.
Can watch Garry do his thing with enthusiasm all day long.
Good stuff.
Thanks.
I like these kinds of stories. Headquarters & hospitals, very important.
While you are in Eastern TN , Close to Knoxville/Sevierville There is a house that was Longstreet's head quarters. The town has grown up around it, but it is well worth seeing.
Why did Gen Sherman coat Have 3 stars?
No good reason. 😀
I caught that too. A little loss of attention to detail since General Sherman wasn't promoted to Lieutenant General until July 25, 1866.
@@thomash8501 The camara did hesitant on the coat, so I think they notice too.
I'm a descendant of John Bell Hood. Always wanted to go here.
Would love to go! Descendant as well. Z Hood.
@@zhood6846 wow I guess we are related in some way.
Great stuff. Thank you all!
I appreciate that they are doing a series of videos in my home town. I wish they had more details in the videos. They left out a great deal of historical information about the house. It seems like they are always in a rush in the videos. Anyway. I used to live close to the house and have been in the house several times back in the early 1970's. It was run down back then and in disrepair. Of course it was said it was haunted and had blood stains on the floor. It did look very spooky back then. . Much respect to the Holcomb family who bought the property and restored it so we can enjoy it today. I support the work Battlefield trust is doing and I think it's important work to preserve history. I hope they don't mind a little constructive criticism.
I was curious about the history of this home.. Thank you for your added information Terrylee.
I appreciate the personal stories. Better than the history books
We don’t. It’s always tough. Do we leave out other sites or do we cover fewer sites in more detail. Our approach is to tantalize people to want to visit the places so we visit as many as we can.
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust. I understand and y'all did a good job. I'm a little prejudice because I grew up here. 👍
This is what brings into perspective. Human stories. The only thing, I have looked all over the map for Resocka and Armuchee. I know where Resacka and Armerchee is, but not those 2.
Ok joke! Great story
I've visited Hood's leg and Jackson's arm, and Dan Sickle's leg. Are there any other notable severed Civil War appendages that I should visit?
I think that covers them, although you need to visit the rest of each of those people. :-)
I believe Captain Henry Wirz's arm is on display at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
Fascinating!!
My husband’s great great great uncle owned that house! Also his greatX6 his grandfather owned the chief Vann house at one time!
I like the stories of the battles, but just as important or more so the commanding generals division & corpse commanders as well. What happened to them, the generals HQ whats going on there & stories of the field hospital that treats the solders.
Always great to learn new civil war history that I did not know.
really interesting it opens everything up . on what the Commanders on both sides where doing 👍
👍
I was wondering if at this time, Hood thought he was still marrying "Buck", or Sally Buchanan Preston...in Virginia? Alot of folks don't understand this, but when they talk about "Victorian" times, and Victorian Homes...it simply means that it happened or took place during the time of Queen Victoria's Run as the Head of England, during the time as Queen of of England..which was roughly from 1838, through 1901. She's second ONLY to Queen Elizabeth II of England, 1953- Present, in length of her Reign. We weren't run by England since before 1776, so WHO knows why it's even an issue. And as far as I knew, I figured they'd removed the entirely of the femur bone, even the head of the femur, where it fits into the hip joint. Or at least I figured it was the thing to do.
I hate to say it but if hood wouldn’t have lived Franklin would have never happened
The odd Civil War subtopic of resting places of famous general’s amputated limbs.
I like this! Do more intertwined with the battles!
Thanks for the wonderful video. I have been here with my daughter. Worth a visit.
I enjoy whenever you do a piece on a civil war structure and it's significance to the war. I also enjoy those episodes that show authentic Civil War weapons or other items, especially those related to the battlefield or place of interest.
I am really enjoy this series, I did hear a strange sound when you introduce Dave powell, it sound like a woman laughing, around 1:02 on the video.
Great content. This is very much a part of the whole story of the Civil War.
Love this, it's all part of the war. No need to hear the yank side though!. LOL!
Sherman didn't wear a cowboy hat as depicted in the museum. He wore a hat with more of a beehive crown.
Gotta love the logistics!! Keep 'em comin' plz!!
Awesome video! Definitely want to see more of this type of video
In Georgia we pronounce it Ar-mur-chee
I live in north ga ive been there its a beautiful place
They buried his leg
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Battles and slugging out is only part of the story. The other parts that gets over looked is the affect on the civilian population. Kids being orphaned, wives being left penniless to care for the family, and even some families loosing everything due to battle is only a small part. In regards to Hood's leg being there, there is one sure way of finding out and that is through excavation/archeological dig.
We enjoy all aspects of this history including what's not just about battle tactics. Put us down for a vote to include house tours and stories about civilians as well as details from the battles. Side note: several years ago we used to hold a Celtic/Cherokee gathering on these grounds one weekend a year.
When I visited Richmond, VA I was able to see the hospital for CSA at Chimborazo and it was fascinating. Thanks!!
very nice video
We love it, Gary . Thank you for your hard work bringing us these videos.
They find his leg?
