This is the best biography of one of the most exciting, colorful,
and controversial figures of the Civil War. A renowned cavalryman,
Nathan Bedford Forrest perfected a ruthless hit-and-run guerrilla
warfare that terrified Union soldiers and garnered the respect of
warriors like William Sherman, who described his adversary as "that
Devil, Forrest . . . the most remarkable man our Civil War produced
on either side." Historian Bruce Catton rated Forrest "one of the
authentic military geniuses of the whole war," but Brian Steel
Wills covers much more than the cavalryman's incredible feats on
the field of battle. He also provides the most thoughtful and
complete analysis of Forrest's hardscrabble childhood in backwater
Mississippi; his rise to wealth in the Memphis slave trade; his
role in the infamous Fort Pillow massacre of black Union soldiers;
his role as early leader and Grand Wizard of the first Ku Klux
Klan; and his declining health and premature death in a
reconstructing America.
