My great Uncle rode with Forrest as a member of the 5th Miss Cav . Maybe mine and yours crossed paths .
Only if, like Forrest at Tupelo, he was attacking the Union supply train.
My great grandfather's regiment was not considered reliable enough for the front lines and so was assigned to protect the rear.
In one of the war's last battles they were finally moved to the front at Fort Blakely, Mobile Bay, and my great grandfather was seriously wounded in the attack, almost died of infection in a New Orleans hospital.
Thankfully he was as ornery and tough as any in those days!
