Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories / Lochlainn Seabrook / 249 pages

Carnton Plantation is in Franklin, Tennessee and was built in the early 1800s.  It was the sight of the Civil War battle, the Battle of Franklin II on November 30, 1864.  It is considered Tennessee's most haunted Civil War house.  The author is a descendant of the McGavock family, the original owners of the plantation. He is a former tour guide and author of several Civil War books and magazine articles.  The book is filled with many stories and photographs of the house.  The Southern slant on the Civil War that comes out in the author's writing was amusing and interesting.  I had heard of Carnton Plantation before I read this book.  Next time I travel through Tennessee I plan to stop there and take a tour.
