My paternal great grandaddy rode with Bedford Forest—the “front” lines were everywhere and atrocities on both sides common.

“My paternal great grandaddy rode with Bedford Forest.”
Mine, too. He was among the Louisiana troops who rode with Nathan Bedford Forrest.

One of my Dad’s family rode with McNeil’s raiders who crossed the Potomac I think in early 1864 and captured General Crook and held him for a short time for ransom. He took the General’s sidearm a Whitney dragoon and I still have it in very good condition. Its been handed down in our family ever since. Someday I will pass it on to my nephew.
