Confederate Brigadier General John Adams died at the Battle of Franklin leading a desperate, doomed assault. Recognized as a hero by his peers, he is largely forgotten today. In his life he rode with Kit Carson, roomed with his friend George Pickett, and graduated with Stonewall Jackson. His actions at the Battle of Franklin have been described as "the grandest performance of the war." He was born in Tennessee, graduated from West Point, served first the United States as a dragoon, and then joined the Confederate States in the War of the Rebellion. He traveled from Tennessee to New York, from Mexico to Minnesota and Maryland to California before coming home to the south to serve and die in Dixie, within yards of the most familiar road of his life.
