THE BATTLE OF NASHVILLE MONUMENT, AS SEEN FROM THE SKY
John Banks, Civil War author, blogger, and alumnus of the BONT Board, is also a drone pilot who has taken his sky-high flying camera to the Battle of Nashville Monument to create a view seldom if ever seen in media. The video is an aerial and musical tribute to the 30-foot granite obelisk placed in 1999 on ground that was the Confederate line of battle on Dec. 15, 1864. It’s a good place to begin learning about the Monument as you read about it on this page dedicated to a sometimes-overlooked part of the Nashville Battlefield.
