Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great Commanders: General Forrest The writer of the following work served with infantry commands of the Confederate army, mostly as adjutant of a regiment or on brigade staff duty, for nearly four years. It was not his fortune to ride with General Forrest during the war, yet he knew this remarkable character somewhat intimately, as well as members of his staff and hundreds of his men who are still engaged in the activities of private life. From the associations of war and of peace, impressions were formed as to the personality and the mettle of Forrest and the soldiers who made him famous. In the limited space permitted the most salient points have been presented, while many incidents, some of them humorous as well as pathetic and thrilling, have been passed over or only given brief mention. The Rebellion Records, so replete with official reports, as published by the Government with approximate accuracy and fairness; the Memoirs of Generals Grant, Sherman, and Thomas, and numerous other Union officers of lesser rank; the Campaigns of General Forrest, by General Thomas Jordan and John P. Pryor, issued in 1868; the Life of General Forrest, by Dr. John A. Wyeth (1899); The Seventh Tennessee Cavalry, Forrest´s old regiment, by John P. Young, of Memphis, and many other publications and papers have been freely consulted in the preparation of this work.
