2025 Year in Review #8: The Lion and the Fox

We’re counting down our most-read posts written in 2025. Coming in at #8 on our list is a November 30, 2025, post by Joe Ricci. Joe is formerly a historian with the Battle of Franklin Trust, so he has spent a lot of time with the principal actors of that late-war drama.

For this year’s anniversary of the battle, Joe addressed one of the more enduring myths of Hood in our-eighth-most-read post, titled “Enough with the Lion and the Fox: John Bell Hood at Franklin.”
