Forrest Stories: Humor of Bedford Forrest and His Cavalry Hardcover - 2018

by G. Lee Millar


From the publisher

Bedford Forrest was not a jester or joker, but he did have a good sense of humor. When a difficult, combative situation was under control, which with him it inevitably would be, his demeanor would lighten up, and Forrest's humorous side would come out. He was also a master of the poker bluff and psychological warfare, and he played these to great advantage during the war. One of the best episodes of this was the 1863 week-long pursuit and surrender of an entire Federal brigade-over 1,700 men-to fewer than 600 of his own. The Union commander had seen the Confederates' three cannons, but a Forrest ruse and bluff made it appear as fifteen cannons, to which the astonished Union man asked Forrest how many he had. Forrest replied, "I reckon that's all that's kept up." This book is a trove of those factual and almost-factual happenings.
