A propos de cet article

New York: Da Capo Press, 1996. Very Good+ condition. Brief gift note. Clean, tight, square, and unmarked. Not price clipped ($19.95). Not a remainder. No store stamp, owner's name or bookplate. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Softcover. 5.5" wide by 8.25" tall. 14 illustrations and 10 maps. A reprint of the 1868 original. 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 Subsequent biographies or studies of him have never totally superseded The Campaigns of General Nathan Bedford Forrest (1868) by General Thomas Jordan (West Pointer and chief of staff to Generals Beauregard, Albert Sidney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." . First Da Capo Press Edition. Softcover. VG+ (brief gift note). 704pp . Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
