That Devil Forrest: Life of General Nathan Bedford Forrest | The Campaigns of Lieut.-Gen. N. B. Forrest and of Forrest's Cavalry, | The River Was Dyed With Blood | Nathan Bedford Forrest
The fullest, most accurate account of the battle yet written, River Run Red vividly depicts the incompetence and corruption of Union occupation in Tennessee, the horrors of guerrilla warfare, and the pent-up bigotry and rage that found its release at Fort Pillow. Andrew Ward brings to life the garrisonâs black troops and their ambivalent white comrades, and the intrepid Confederate cavalrymen who rode with the slave trading Nathan Bedford Forrest, future founder of the Ku Klux Klan.
The result is a fast-paced narrative that hurtles toward that fateful April day and beyond to establish Fort Pillowâs true significance in the annals of American history. Destined to become as controversial as the battle itself, River Run Red is sure to appeal to readers of James McPhersonâs bestselling Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam.
