Full Description

In this new book, Paul Ashdown and Edward Caudill explore the creation of the relentless Forrest myth. Scrutinizing literature, art, cinema, and popular culture over the past 150 years, the authors contend that the legend is a creation of the nation's obsession with the Civil War, and its press. This book will captivate readers with the enigma that was Nathan Bedford Forrest.
