FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Nathan Bedford Forrest is best known for his role as a Confederate officer in the American War for Southern Independence. While most Forrest biographies discuss his military career in great detail, what they do not provide is the Generals own perspective of the conflict. In his one-of-a-kind book, Give Em Hell Boys! (named after one of his most famous war cries), Forrest scholar, Forrest relation, and award-winning author Lochlainn Seabrook handily remedies this situation.Neatly divided into five sections for each year of Lincolns War, as the subtitle indicates, the book encompasses all of the Generals military correspondence, from 1861 to 1865. In the 300 fascinating footnoted entries included, we find Forrests reports, dispatches, orders, returns, letters, notes, communiques, and telegrams, as he himself wrote or dictated them, usually from the battlefield. His missives were sent out to a wide assortment of Civil War figures, from the president of the Confederacy (Jefferson Davis) and fellow Confederate officers to various Union authorities, most of the communications with the latter which ended with unsurprising results: immediate surrender of the enemy!Through Forrests own words we are able to track not only the progress of the War, but his rise from private to lieutenant general (one rank shy of full general) - the only man on either side to achieve such a feat. Included along with a bibliography and an index are such extras as a historical time line of the highlights of Forrests life, a list of all his engagements, and a section on his recognition by the Confederate Congress.Like Col. Seabrooks other eleven works on Forrest, Give Em Hell Boys! will help destroy the many anti-South myths surrounding this extraordinary soldier, who many have justly called the "God of War," giving him back his rightful place as a lauded American patriot and Southern icon. Learn about both Forrest the man and Forrest the Rebel officer from the great Confederate chieftain himself, in this captivating read that is already becoming a standard in Civil War literature.
