General Nathan Bedford Forrest was a brave and ingenious Confederate officer who won all but one of the battles he led; a philanthropist who gave generously to family, friends, and charities; and a humanitarian who not only spared the lives of numerous Yankees on the battlefield, but who freed his slaves years before Lincoln issued his fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation. And unlike liberal Lincoln, who purposefully delayed abolition, hindered black social and political advancement, and campaigned throughout his life to have all blacks deported out of the U.S., after the War conservative Forrest crusaded to bring new African immigrants into the South - with full civil rights. No one would know any of this by reading the typical works on Forrest, however, nearly all which are written and published by anti-South proponents. In fact, according to most Northern and New South authors Forrest was a violent redneck, an unregenerate racist, a barbaric slave trader, a philandering husband, an illiterate hillbilly, the founder and grand wizard of the KKK, and the butcher of Fort Pillow. None of this is true, but it continues to be presented in our history books as fact. In A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest - Confederate General, American Legend, unreconstructed Southern historian, award-winning Tennessee author, and Forrest scholar Lochlainn Seabrook reveals the truth about one of history s most fascinating, charismatic, complex, romantic, and unique individuals. In this refreshingly positive appraisal of Forrest - widely considered to be Seabrook s masterpiece - the author corrects the many falsehoods about him, and, using well researched documentation, shows that the modern negative image of the General derives almost solely from slanderous myths created 150 years ago by Lincoln s anti-South propaganda machine. At 822 pages this is the longest book ever written on Forrest. This newly revised Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition includes his life story, over 2,000 footnotes, hundreds of photos and illustrations (many never before seen by the public), a list of Forrest s military engagements, a Forrest life calendar, Forrest and Montgomery family trees, Forrest s astrological profile, an 800-book bibliography, a detailed index, and more. Read the book that everyone is raving about and learn the facts about Forrest, facts that have been wantonly suppressed by enemies of the South. The Foreword is by Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, University of South Carolina. In 2011 Lochlainn Seabrook was awarded the UDC s prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal for A Rebel Born. Known as the American Robert Graves after his celebrated English cousin, Seabrook is the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford and the author of over thirty popular adult and children s books, twelve of them on the War for Southern Independence. His titles include: Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask A Southerner ; Lincolnology: The Real Abraham Lincoln Revealed in His Own Words; The Quotable Robert E.

With its 100-year history of infant mortality, violence, murder, war, surgical amputations, political intrigue, thousands of ghastly deaths, and a long streak of truly bad luck, it's little wonder that Carnton Plantation is haunted, or that thousands travel each year to visit its hallowed grounds in the hopes of spotting a ghost themselves. What is perhaps more amazing is that no one has thought to chronicle the accounts of Carnton's many ghost stories, and put them in a book for readers of all ages. Lochlainn Seabrook, a former Carnton tour guide and the author of dozens of popular Civil War books, has rectified this situation by providing us with the first nonfiction book ever written about the goblins of Tennessee's most haunted Civil War house. Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories is loaded with both fun and serious facts touching on numerous topics, from the Civil War, plantation life, and Victorian culture, to 19th-Century medicine, genealogy, and slavery. And all is written from the South's point of view, a refreshing perspective that enriches an already fascinating subject: a Southern plantation full of Civil War ghosts Included is a complete list of the dead Rebel soldiers buried at the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, over 100 photos and illustrations of paranormal energies, Carnton Mansion, and the grounds, maps of the property, a wonderful and useful "Ghostly Glossary," a history of both Carnton and the Battle of Franklin II, and discussions on Lincoln's War. Additionally, Seabrook, who is related to the founders and owners of Carnton, has thoughtfully included a family tree for the plantation clan. Entertaining yet educational, diverting yet gripping, this is a book that everyone from ghost-hunters to Civil War buffs will want on their shelf. The foreword is by Austin Cook, team leader of SyFy Channel s hit TV series Killer Contact.
