Nathan Bedford
Forrest: A Biography (Vintage Civil War Library) by Jack Hurst
Synopsis Nathan Bedford Forrest was the only soldier
to rise from the rank of private to general during the U.S. Civil War. At once "a
soft-spoken gentleman of marked placidity and an overbearing bully of homicidal
wrath," Forrest is best remembered for the combination of brilliant military
leadership and flamboyant bravery that drove his Confederate cavalry troops from victory
to victory on the battlefield. He was so tenacious that General Sherman called him a
"devil" who should "be hunted down and killed if it costs 10,000 lives and
bankrupts the treasury." Now this epic figure is restored to human dimensions in an
exemplary biography.
(Movie trivia: Forrest Gump's mother named her son after this general.)
