Looking at the quaint and genteel Franklin of today, it’s hard to imagine some of the town’s sordid history.
But lynchings, public whippings and hangings, street corner shootings and assorted “activities of the night” are all part of the city’s past. Many buildings served as hospitals following the Battle of Franklin, […]
