That's an interesting article on General Forrest. I haven't read much about Forrest, instead reading more about General Jeb Stuart because he was with General Lee. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Not to detract from the overall accuracy of the article, but Erwin Rommel never set foot in the United States.  The only time he ever left Germany was when he was invading some place. 

 "he was invading some place."

 

.......which he was good at also. Jreb

Latimer refers to Nathan Forrest as "the Wizard of the Saddle" and was described by Wiliam Sherman as "the most remarkable man our Civil War produced on either side."

I'm reading James Wyeth's biography of General Forrest. It was interesting to note that General William Sherman had a very high regard for Forrest.

 

He said, "Forrest always knew what I was up to but I could never work out was he was trying to accomplish."
