Brother Hood: Nashville, Dec. 15-16, 1864, fought just south of Nashville, Tenn. Following defeat at Franklin, Hood's weakened Confederate army moved on to Nashville, where the Federal army was based. Gen. George H. Thomas, with an army twice the size of Hood's force, moved out of the city and assailed the Confederates on three fronts. Hood barely managed on the second day to extricate his broken army. Federal losses were 387 killed, 2,562 wounded, and 112 missing. Total Confederate losses are unknown, though Thomas reported the capture of 4,462 men.
During the middle of the 19th century English painting fell into a state of triviality temporarily relieved by the "Pre-Raphaelite brother hoodhood" of Hunt, Rosetti, and Burne-Jones, who turned to medievalism with Botticelli as their God. They were defended by Ruskin, but world thought was soon to discard eclecticism and to search for new artistic interpretations. With the approach of the 20th century, the English artists looked for inspiration from across the Channel.
Guthrie is an important center of the brother hoodhood of Freemasons. The Scottish Rite Temple is one of the city's most imposing buildings. Guthrie's city hall is noted as the place where the Oklahoma constitution was written.
Guthrie was founded and became a populous community all in one day—April 22, 1889. At noon on that day, large areas of land that had been purchased from the Indians by the federal government were declared open for settlement by order of the president of the United States.
