New to this edition is an 8-page Introduction by noted Civil War historian Albert Castel. From the rear cover: "In June 1861 practically unschooled without military training or experience Nathan Bedford Forrest 1821-1877 enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private. Yet by the Civil War's end he was a lieutenant general whose dazzling exploits and bloody victories caused him to be regarded by his Northern opponents as a 'devil' by Southerners as a living legend and by historians as the greatest cavalry commander and one of the few authentic military geniuses produced by the war. His spectacular unparalleled career no high-ranking commander since medieval times personally killed as many enemies in combat as Forrest did has intrigued generations of Civil War scholars and enthusiasts. Subsequent biographies or studies of him have never totally superseded The Campaigns of General Nathan Bedford Forrest 1868 by General Thomas Jordan West Pointer and chief of staff to Generals Beauregard Albert Sidney Johnston and Braxton Bragg and the professional journalist J. P. Pryor. Forrest himself gave them complete access to his military papers spent many hours being interviewed by them and closely supervised their writing. Hence this work is not just a flat campaign study of Forrest -- in effect it is his military memoir and as such remains the most valuable source on Forrest and his cavalry." .

We can only imagine the despair the unfortunate ones felt who were recaptured knowing that not only were they going back into the prison they had worked so hard to escape but that they also would probably be treated worse than before for having fled.

I fired about fifteen rounds when a ball struck in the small of my back. I don't want you to think I turned my back to them but they had a cross fire on us from two sides." . 1st ed No additional printings listed. Softcover stiff card wraps. Very Fine condition.
