Nathan Bedford Forrest  

Définition

  • Confederate General Dubbed the “Wizard of the Saddle,” and “That Devil Forrest,” Nathan Bedford Forrest rose from private to lieutenant general in the Confederate cavalry during the American Civil War. His use of commonsense tactics and his ferocious combat leadership by example won him a reputation as one of the finest commanders of mounted troops on either side in the conflict.
