*Includes pictures of Forrest and important people, places, and events. *Includes a lengthy bibliography for further reading. "I got there first with the most men." - Nathan Bedford Forrest Despite the fact that the Civil War was fought nearly 150 years ago, it remains a polarizing topic for the country to this day. And nowhere is this more evident than in the life and legacy of Confederate Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the war's most controversial soldier. When the war broke out, Forrest enlisted in the army and was instructed to raise a battalion of cavalry. A self-made man with no formal military training, Forrest spent the entire war fighting in the Western theater, becoming the only individual in the war to rise from the rank of Private to Lieutenant General. By the end of the war, Forrest was known throughout the South as the "Wizard of the Saddle," and anecdotes of his prowess in battle were legendary. In addition to being injured multiple times in battle, Forrest has been credited with having killed 30 Union soldiers in combat and having 29 horses shot out from under him. Northerners weren't the only ones who felt his wrath; Forrest famously feuded with several commanding officers and notoriously killed an artillery commander in his unit after a verbal confrontation spiraled out of control. History has properly accorded Forrest his place as one of the most courageous soldiers of the Civil War, and Forrest attained a number of command successes in the Western theater of the war. But Forrest was also at the head of Confederate troops accused of massacring a Union garrison comprised mostly of black soldiers at Fort Pillow, and he was also a prominent slave trader, an overt racist, and likely a leader of the Ku Klux Klan after the Civil War. When he died in 1877, in part due to various war wounds, he was the nation's most notorious unreconstructed rebel. Ashdown and Caudill, authors of The Myth of Nathan Bedford Forrest, write that the story of Forrest "embraces violence, race, realism, sectionalism, politics, reconciliation, and repentance." With these characteristics, it has proven almost impossible for any American to have a neutral view of Forrest, and it has been even harder to ignore him. Subsequently, Forrest's image has vacillated from celebrated to reviled, sometimes both at the same time, over the last 150 years, as the numerous and notable aspects of Forrest's life and legacy were considered by different people at different times. The Wizard of the Saddle: The Battle over the Life and Legacy of Nathan Bedford Forrest traces his life and Civil War record in the first part, detailing both his wild successes and his biggest controversies. The second part looks at how Forrest's legacy has been interpreted in the North and South since the end of the war, and how it fits within the context of Civil War memory and historiography as a whole, showing how Americans' opinions of Forrest have changed over time in conjunction with how the war and its aftermath were viewed. Along with pictures of Forrest and other important people, places and events in his life, you will learn about the Wizard of the Saddle like you never have before, in no time at all.

His admirers call him a military genius, while his detractors label him a cold-blooded killer. Regardless of the characterization, Nathan Bedford Forrest entered the American Civil War as a virtual unknown, but emerged as a Rebel hero and a Yankee villain. As a young adult, the Tennessean worked his way up the economic ladder, operating a livery business and brick yard, and serving as the town constable and coroner. With fierce determination to improve his financial standing, he eventually became a successful slave trader, real estate broker, and cotton planter. By the time the Civil War broke out in April of 1861, Forrest was a millionaire. Joining the Rebel cavalry with no previous military training, he became the only man in either the Confederate or Union Armies to rise from the rank of Private to Lieutenant General. He soon became the Confederacy's most accomplished cavalryman. His daring troopers repeatedly disrupted Union Army communication and supply lines. Lacking a West Point resume, and having benefited from a year of formal education, at most, Forrest developed his own battlefield strategies, which have since been studied at military academies throughout the world. A master at mobile warfare, the intrepid Forrest readily transformed his cavalrymen into foot soldiers when battlefield conditions were favorable. Forrest was also devastatingly adept at using artillery to pound the enemy into submission. At the same time, he was a master at the bluff, often inducing much larger Union Army forces to surrender to his troopers. When asked to summarize his military strategy, he offered a simple, but often-quoted maxim: "Get there first with the most men." Unlike many contemporary military leaders, Forrest led the charge into battle. Wounded 4 times, his courage under fire inspired his troopers and fortified their resolve. During the course of the Civil War, Forrest killed 31 enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat and had 30 horses shot out from under him. At the end of the war, his troopers were credited with having taken 31,000 prisoners of war. Forrest emerged from the Civil War physically battered and financially ruined. He was never able to replicate his pre-war financial successes, and ultimately was employed as the supervisor of convict labor camp. Rebelling against the sociopolitical culture of freedmen, carpetbaggers, and scalawags, Forrest joined the newly-formed Ku Klux Klan and was purportedly elected as the secret organization's first Grand Wizard. While endeavoring to maintain white supremacy in his native South, Forrest eventually grew disillusioned with KKK's violent reprisals against former slaves, and unsuccessfully attempted to disband the racist organization. "The Wizard of the Saddle: Nathan Bedford Forrest" is a concise biography of an enigmatic, yet unlikely warrior, who occupied an unforgettable role in the tragic and compelling lore of the American Civil War.
