I'm a Forrest fan, my great-grandfather's unit fought two battles against him, lost the first, won the second.
My Dad trained for WWII at Camp Forrest, Tennessee.
Forrest was extraordinarily energetic, innovative & cunning, perhaps the best cavalry commander of the war.
By the end of his life he had come full circle in race relations and since I'm a great believer in redemption, I think we should recognize Forrest's full life, not just the darkest moments of it.
