Give Em Hell Boys! The Complete Military Correspondence of NB Forrest Hardcover

Description: "Give 'Em Hell Boys!"The Complete Military Correspondence of Nathan Bedford Forrest By Lochlainn Seabrook Sold out - Temporaily ships in 2.5 wks.300 pagesHardcover IllustratedWhile most Forrest biographies discuss his military career in great detail, what they do not provide is the General's own perspective of the conflict. In his one-of-a-kind book, award-winning author, Lochlainn Seabrook handily remedies this situation. Neatly divided into five sections for each year of Lincoln's War, as the subtitle indicates, the book encompasses all of the General's military correspondence, from 1861 to 1865. In the 300 fascinating footnoted entries included, we find Forrest's reports, dispatches, orders, returns, letters, notes, communiques, and telegrams, as he himself wrote or dictated them, usually from the battlefield. His missives were sent out to a wide assortment of Civil War figures, from the president of the Confederacy (Jefferson Davis) and fellow Confederate officers to his Yankee enemies, most of the communications with the latter which ended with unsurprising results: immediate surrender! Through Forrest's own words, we are able to track not only the progress of the War, but his rise from private to lieutenant general (one rank shy of full general)-the only man on either side to achieve such a feat. Included along with a bibliography and an index are such extras as a historical time line of the highlights of Forrest's life, a list of all of Forrest's engagements, and a section on his recognition by the Confederate Congress.Like the author's other works on Forrest, "Give 'Em Hell Boys!" (named after one of his most famous war cries) will help destroy the many anti-South myths surrounding the General, giving him back his rightful place as a lauded American icon. Learn about both Forrest the man and the Rebel officer from the great Confederate chieftain himself, in this captivating read that is sure to become a standard in Civil War literature. Lochlainn Seabrook, winner of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, is the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford and the author of over forty popular books. Also available in paperback. Published by Sea Raven Press, beautifully designed books with a vintage vibe. 11 Related Books on Forrest by Lochlainn Seabrook:A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest (winner of the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal) A Rebel Born: The ScreenplayForrest: 99 Reasons to Love Nathan Bedford Forrest I Rode with Forrest: Confederate Soldiers Who Served with the World's Greatest Cavalry Leader Nathan Bedford Forrest & African-Americans: Yankee Myth, Confederate FactNathan Bedford Forrest & Reconstruction: Yankee Myth, Confederate FactNathan Bedford Forrest & the Battle of Fort Pillow: Yankee Myth, Confederate Fact Nathan Bedford Forrest: Southern Hero, American Patriot Saddle, Sword & Gun: A Biography of Nathan Bedford Forrest For Teens The God of War: Nathan Bedford Forrest as He Was Seen By His Contemporaries The Quotable Nathan Bedford Forrest
