Forrest was indeed a fascinating individual and I think there is much more to be learned from an examination of his biography than that which is broadcast by the establishment media.
For those who are the more, I've written about Forrest and his application for conservatives on my about page which is to be arrived at simply by clicking on "Nathan Bedford." I think most of the comments at the foot of the original article have been anticipated on the about page.
Man-o-man, have I seen you take a beating over the years for you picking your FR screen name after this man.
Personally, I'd bookmark this thread, or save the original article, to throw in some faces at a future time. And that time will come again (unfortunately).

You educated me about him a long time ago. I only knew one aspect of his biography—the cliff notes version taught in school. He was indeed interesting, and more complex than detractors would admit.
