For insight into the Western Theatre try That Devil Forrest by John Allan Wyeth and Nathan Bedford Forrest - A Biography by Jack Hurst

The uneducated Forrest has been acknowledged by many as ranking at the top of history's great cavalry leaders.

Nathan Bedford Forrest - A Biography by Jack Hurst

Forrest is a guy that I'd like to read and research more about because the conventional "wisdom" I always heard about him was his connection to the KKK and that he was some kind of racist boor. Thanks, I'll look into these two.
