Summary: Disappointing
Review: A tiny book of 80 pages that has quotes from Forrest and others speaking of Forrest. Also bits and pieces taken from Forrest's farewell address to his men. With one to three quotes per page, this book could have easily been condensed into an even smaller version. There is also mistakes. An example of this is on page 71 when the author writes that Forrest's rebels were fording "a creek to escape pursuing Yankees", when in fact Forrest was pursuing the Yankees, who surrendered their 1466 men to Forrest's 600.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is a short book of quotes. Many Civil War Buff may be familar with some, and not familar with others.The Creek Forest was crossing, one reviewer mentioned, is on page 71 of this book. It is taken from Wyeth's book, "that Devil Forrest", and is correctly stated. ( Wyeth rode with General Forrest) If you like Forrest of Confederate Generals, you'll really enjoy this book.

Summary: The Best Quotes From Any Civil War General!
Review: This volume is part of a series listing quotations from various
Civil War generals (as well as quotations about them), and this is the very best of the bunch! Forrest's quotations are the most
colorful and pungent, most readily-quoted and remembered. This is the best value in the series.
