May I Quote You, General Forrest?: Observations & Utterances from the South's Great Generals
Edited by Randall Bedwell
"Men, do as I say and I will always lead you to victory." —Nathan Bedford Forrest
Few commanders in history rank with General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was a Rebel general in every sense of the term. Not only did he command a force of fighting men who almost never met defeat, he did so using unconventional and innovative tactics that set him apart from other military leaders of his time. A self-made frontiersman with no formal military training, he frequently found himself battling both the Union army and his own stubborn superiors in the Confederate high command.
May I Quote You, General Forrest? captures the spirit and brilliance of this Confederate maverick in illuminating quotations from Forrest and his contemporaries on both sides of the battle lines. Beloved by his men and renowned for his victories, Nathan Bedford Forrest's reputation as a cunning tactician and commander has only increased over time.
