A man I would gladly have followed into battle.
Not me, he was libel to get you killed to the point where one of his own men tried to kill him for that very tendency.
What was Forrest famous quote about it?
"No man kills me and lives to tell the tale."
It’s interesting that I have found no other character of prominence in the Civil War besides Forrest who ever used an enemy soldier as a human shield to hasten his getaway.
