About this product

Product Information

Amid the aristocratic ranks of the Confederate cavalry, Nathan Bedford Forrest was untutored, all but unlettered, and regarded as no more than a guerrilla. His tactic was the headlong charge, mounted with such swiftness and ferocity that General Sherman called him a "devil" who should "be hunted down and killed if it costs 10,000 lives and bankrupts the treasury." And in a war in which officers prided themselves on their decorum, Forrest habitually issued surrender-or-die ultimatums to the enemy and often intimidated his own superiors. After being in command at the notorious Fort Pillow Massacre, he went on to haunt the South as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Now this epic figure is restored to human dimensions in an exemplary biography that puts both Forrest's genius and his savagery into the context of his time, chronicling his rise from frontiersman to slave trader, private to lieutenant general, Klansman to -- eventually -- New South businessman and racial moderate. Unflinching in its analysis and with extensive new research, Nathan Bedford Forrest is an invaluable and immensely readable addition to the literature of the Civil War. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    Nathan Bedford Forrest

    Great book. There has been many good biographies of Forrest. Some of the earlier ones were merely hero worship. He was a tough man....he was the most personally lethal General Officer on either side of the Civil War. He defeated many better educated oponents despite being outnumbered. This book paints a relatively balanced view of Forrest. Some would argue that it is too favorable of him, but I would counter that Hurst was fair. Forrest was an amazing figure and a product of his upbringing and his time. Hurst writes an entertaining biography.
