folks who care should read the memoirs out now from Forrest’s staff and escort compiled by a professor here in Tennessee at Tullahoma.

I never knew Forrest had many blacks serve under him and not all were supply or quartermaster corps.

he offered pay and emancipation to his own slaves who agreed to serve under him

his reputation as a Simon Legree is utterly false.

I’ll be glad to debate Ft Pillow with any Neo-Abolitionists here too if they would like and we can do it strictly with Federal accounts

I made a note to myself to come back in a couple of months to see if anyone had taken you up on your offer.
