My ancestors rode with the 7th Tennessee Cavalry, the 7th Mississippi Cavalry, 1st Mississippi Partisans that were all units serving under Forrest at one time or another.

Don't forget that General Forrest's grandson, a General of the US Army, was killed leading a bombing group of B-17s over Wilhalshaven and was the first General killed in combat during WWII.

Yessir!

Also, John A. Wyeth, president of the American Medical Association, rode with Forrest. Not only were they fearless and tough....they were smart!
