I’ve read John Allan Wyeth’s “That Devil Forrest”. I’ll have to look for the book you mentioned. Any others you could recommend?

I cheat. Since I live so close to Carnton-McGavock cemetary and Stones River National Battlefield, I go to their book stores where they have quite a few. The Wyeth book is the gold standard. I have read Hurst's too....a little more modern but taken from Wyeth. the "Nathan Bedford Forrest's Escort and Staff" by Michael Bradley that I mentioned before is one. and "As They Saw Forrest" by Selph Henry is another. both are good works recounted by those who were there.

A book published this year entitled “Nathan Bedford Forrest: In Search of the Enigma” by Davidson and Foxx is a well-written history, though admittedly partisan to Forrest.
