Can you recommend a decent bio of Forrest? Sounds like it would be a fascinating and entertaining read.

Best Bio I’ve heard of (haven’t read it yet) is:

That Devil Forrest: Life of General Nathan Bedford Forrest

Hurst and Wyeth and Lytle I guess are the three definitive biographies about 75 years apart

I own every book ever written about Bedford Forrest including Captain Little Ax by James Street which is hard to find

I own an original hardbound first edition of my grandfathers
