Nathan Bedford Forrest: A BiographyAmid 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

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.

Perfect for Prom!
Color: Black, Size: Small
I bought the suit for prom for my son. It was last minute. It was better than expected! Nice looking! He looked great! The pants were big on him but he has a slim build. There is elastic in the waist. I added a couple of buttons to pull the elastic band to shrink the waist. It was perfect! The length didn’t need any hemming. Jacket was a great fit. I ordered a Small. My son is 5’7” and 135 lbs.

The arm length was a little long but it was very comfortable and was a great quilt. The color was a deep black. He was able to dance the night away with no worries of damage to the material.
