Some years ago I heard a talk by a 97-year-old man who was the son of someone who had ridden with Forrest. I forget how many years ago it was but very likely the man who gave the talk has passed on.

None of my great-grandfathers served in the war. Two had the excuse of age (born in 1850 and 1864). The other two were old enough (born in 1835 and 1844) but evaded service by failing to immigrate.

My great great grandfather was also a Confederate soldier at Shiloh. I’m sick of history being rewritten. My ancestor is peacefully safely buried; but not if this bunch manages to get in totalitarian power.

One of my great-grandfathers was also a Confederate cavalryman. His cousin rode with Forrest and was killed in 1862.
