Central Virginia Battlefield Trust Acquires Key Property in Jackson Flank Attack Sector Central Virginia Battlefields Trust has recently acquired a property closely related to a Medal of Honor commendation from the Battle of Chancellorsville. The 1.1 acre “Kinney Tract” in the Jackson Flank Attack sector sits adjacent to the intersection of the Plank and Orange Plank roads. Historically, this property sat beneath the very muzzles of Captain Hubert Dilger’s battery during one of the greatest rearguard actions of the entire war.

Formerly a horse artillerist for the Grand Duke of Baden (whose daughter he was rumored to be romancing) Dilger spoke only German when he arrived in New York. After being assigned to 1st Ohio Light Artillery he soon earned the

Getting More Young People Interested in the Civil War: Some Suggestions

By Chris Mackowski During a recent panel discussion at the Gettysburg Heritage Center, several of us from ECW pondered a question we all hear these days: “How do we get more young people interested in the Civil War?” My colleagues offered a lot of good advice, everything from “get students onto the battlefields” to “focus on great storytelling.” I heartily endorse such sentiments!

I hear this same lament a lot when I’m on the road speaking to roundtables. Everyone seems to be feeling the same pinch and comments, “We need more young people.” It’s true; we do!

With everything competing for their attention these days, and with so many teachers forced by state testing to boil things down to names/dates/places, Civil War history can seem downright boring compared to the entertaining multimedia immersion students can otherwise experience.

Since the panel discussion, I’ve tried to think of several specific suggestions I can offer as ways to get more young people interested in the Civil War. I offer these suggestions specifically with roundtables and historical societies in mind. I warn you in advance, the list is not exhaustive; in fact, I would encourage all of you to chime in with specific things your group successfully does. But here, at least, is a stab.

Reach out to young people through the media channels they’re most apt to engage. A notice in the local paper is great for people in the traditional roundtable demographics, but how many teenagers, or even twenty-somethings, read the local newspaper?

Instead, what are you doing with social media, and not just Facebook (which has become kinda uncool for teens) but Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, YouTube, and others? You have to keep current,

too. After all, remember a crazy little thing called “MySpace”?

Most teens today don’t remember it, either. “Vine” was a big thing for a while, too, but that seems to have withered. You have to know what social media young people are using today, and then consider how you’re actively using it to reach them. For example, are you sending out tweets about your meeting times? Is that all you’re tweeting, or are you retweeting links to interesting news stories and blog posts you like, too? If that social media stuff all sounds like work, it is, but that’s what it will take if you want to reach young folks.

Beyond social media, what other ways do you have to reach them? Through their social studies teachers at school? Through history clubs at their schools?

Through Scouts? Through church youth groups? Reach out to people and groups that have influence with them. Expand your net and think creatively.

Be sure your meetings are inviting to younger people. Sure, you might think the atmosphere of your meetings is welcoming, but the people who’ve been going for years and years are used to the routine. What’s it like to show up as a new person? What’s it like to show up as a new young person?

Is the room full of old fogies?

Are people friendly to strangers, or do people hang with their own cliques?

Then there’s the larger question of getting younger people in the door in the first place. Is the meeting time convenient for younger people? How about the meeting location? Dress code?

What about the cost of dinner, if any? A $35 sit-down meal isn’t too much for most of us, but for a teenager, that’s a day’s wages at their part-time job.

Get involved with National History Day, the Civil War Trust’s

National Teacher Institute, and other organizations that promote history education. The more you can do to partner with groups that already focus on history education, particularly Civil War history, the more you can build off of each other’s efforts. For instance, sending a local teacher off to the Trust’s annual Teachers Institute is an excellent investment in someone who’s working on the front lines with young people.

Not only are you helping that person better kindle an interest in the Civil War in their students, but that teacher is also far more apt to funnel interested students in the direction of your roundtable. For National History Day, offering a special prize for the best Civil War-themed project in the regional competition might encourage more Civil War projects.

Aside from offering the prize, you can also show off the projects at one of your meetings, and that gets students in the door.

Solicit volunteers to go into schools to talk with students.

This is more complicated than it sounds, though. First, you need to find the right person/people to contact at the school. Then you need to talk with them about ways you and your group can interact with students most effectively. Because of state testing requirements, the amount of time teachers can devote to the Civil War is limited, so class time must be used as effectively as possible. Going and “talking about the Civil War” might not be enough.

Find out what your teachers need and then work with them to develop programming that helps them.

Similarly, it’s not enough to send just anyone into a class.

Be sure your volunteers aren’t just passionate about the subject

For many years, researching the set presented a challenge given the absence of an index. Tom Broadfoot removed this obstacle in 1987 with the reprinting of an expanded version of the original collection.

Robert S. Bridgers served as the editorial director for the index and developed a systematic method to capture the 5,925 individual names, more than 600 maps, and various illustrations found in the original set.

Amassing copies of each of the original expanded editions— never widely available—Broadfoot Publishing reprinted the collection, with each state as a standalone version. The included cross-reference chart, shown, assists researchers referencing the original version. With the addition of a two-volume index, the Broadfoot set numbers 19 volumes and 12,000 pages. The original set contained approximately 7,000 pages, so the expanded version offers researchers much more, including the ‘Biographies of Confederate Soldiers Residing in the North’ section, published for the first time. The Broadfoot collection also significantly expands the biographical sketches—including many officers below the rank of general—from roughly 400 in the original to over 6,000. Despite the bias of the original writers, and numerous errors found within the pages—incorrect ranks, dates, and inaccuracies in certain maps—this source contains a large amount of information helpful to researchers.

Those seeking printed copies of the set (and some individual state titles) can obtain them from Broadfoot Publishing, at http:// www.broadfootpublishing.com, or check WorldCat http://www. worldcat.org for help in finding the collection in a local library.

Battlefield Of Franklin Land Preservation Purchase

By GreGory L. Wade

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — What is considered the bloodiest acreage in the Nov. 30, 1864, Battle of Franklin is now being reclaimed as part of the evolving Carter Hill Battlefield Park.

Local preservation leaders recently closed on a $2.8 million purchase from owners Reid and Brenda Lovell after a months-long process of coordinating various funding sources for the critical 1.6 acres that adjoin the Carter House, a major battle landmark.

Details were recently provided at a press conference led by Franklin’s Charge board member Julian Bibb, who praised the “remarkable transition” of the Franklin battlefield.

Franklin’s Charge is a coalition of civic and preservation groups who joined together more than ten years ago to purchase local battleground.

Over 150 years ago the Army of Tennessee stepped off in a series of charges to be virtually destroyed

by Federals under John Schofield in hopes of taking Franklin and later Nashville.

At that time, most of the terrain was open farmland on the outskirts of what was once a small Middle Tennessee farming community. Over time development covered much of the battlefield with houses, light industry, and small businesses.

All that remained of the critical area where the Confederates temporarily broke the Federal line was the small farmhouse and a few acres known as the Carter House farm.

The 1.6 acres purchased, which adjoin the southern boundary of the Carter House property, is comprised of two lots. Today, they are occupied by a flower shop and other structures

that were turned over to the City of Franklin Parks Department by Franklin’s Charge and the Battle of Franklin’s Trust (BOFT), managers of the Carter House the nearby Carnton Plantation. The structures will be removed in coming months, possibly relocated for other use.

The purchase is only the latest step in a long and arduous effort to rebuild the Franklin battlefield.

“It had to be a miracle,” quipped Civil War Trust (CWT) President James Lighthizer, referring to the most recent acquisition. Local resident Michael Grainger, long time Trust board member and former chairman, said, “Local leadership has been incredible and will continue to be a partner [with the CWT].”

In 2005, after years of frustration attempting to preserve Franklin battleground, local preservationists decided it would have to be done the hard way, by buying properties, often with buildings on them.

The largest parcel of land was originally a local golf course slated to be sold to a developer to build houses on what was the right flank of the Confederate attack north toward the Federal lines just south of the town.

It was then that Franklin’s Charge came into existence. Funds have been raised for the $5 million purchase from private donors, the CWT, the City of Franklin and others. That 110-acre segment, now fully interpreted and known as the Eastern Flank Battlefield, is what got the preservation ball rolling in Franklin.

Since that time nine other parcels in proximity to the Carter House have been purchased and have been, or will be, turned over to the Frank-

Franklin Charge leader Julian Bibb speaks at the Lovell purchase closing.

But it was the land just south of the Carter House, long considered the most bloodied ground in Franklin, and some say in America, that was the most coveted.

BOFT Chief Executive Officer Eric Jacobson noted, “to not have this ground reclaimed and preserved, would be like having Omaha Beach cut out of Normandy.”

The most recent acquisition evolved when Franklin’s Charge and the BOFT began discussions with the Lovells, who have a strong sense of the history of the land, having grown up in Franklin.

“I was born and raised in Franklin on ground many believe should have been a national park,” said Reid Lovell. He recalled when visitors came to town and had to envision what happened, not walk on ground where it transpired.

“My great-grandfather, who fought here, and my parents would be proud of what we are doing here today,” he said at the press conference.

The Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously in February to fund part of the remaining debt on the Lovell property purchase. The previously saved plots, valued at $6.8 million, are being transferred to the city in exchange for $1.08 million to be paid by the city on a non-interest basis over seven years.

These funds will cover the balance now bridged by a local bank and will be derived from the city’s hotel-motel tax. Local banker Chuck Isaacs was instrumental in working out the loans. All the city funds are allotted as well as a donation of $25,000 by his employer, First Farmers and Merchants Bank.

A $1.3 million grant from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) was a major piece of the

Franklin Alderman Michael Skinner, left, and Franklin Charge Board member Ernie Bacon attended the Franklin press conference. funding and the most complex, according to Bibb.

“With help from city officials, the Civil War Trust and others at the ABPP, we got it done,” Bibb noted.

Other funding came from private donors including local Civil War Trust board member Grainger, who has been involved with other national preservation efforts.

Representatives of Save the Franklin Battlefield, the oldest battlefield

preservation group in Franklin who for years advocated the possibility of a battleground park, attended the signing of official documents and “have been with us every step,” said Bibb.

The site interpretation work will be led by representatives of the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage
