ahem...Bedford Forrest was not just a Tennessean...though by birth...not far from where i type.. but was at that pointing spending most of his time at his plantations at Friar’s Point in my homestate...the Magnolia one....
but he did enlist in Memphis first as a private...indeed
just saying...
Yes. I know Forrest had Mississippi roots as well and not just those associated with some of his magnificent victories.
I would be the last one the sell the Magnolia state short, given my nom de guerre ;)
