Description: By Lochlainn Seabrook190 pages - IllustratedNon-fiction PaperbackGenre: U.S. History, Civil WarPublished by Sea Raven PressISBN 97819437Ships the next business day! Description: One of twelve books on General Forrest written by Lochlainn Seabrook, this book contains rare photos and illustrations, official reports, and important eyewitness accounts by those who lived between 1861 and 1877. In this fascinating, eye-opening book, the author explains that the original group was a conservative organization that intended to be temporary (which is why it lasted only three years), and had thousands of black supporters, assistants, and members, and was formed to protect Southerners of all races. The author restores Forrest's reputation after being unfairly tarnished by a century and a half of attacks by the malicious and the uneducated. A must-read for all those who are in search of the facts about the General and the courageous organization that saved the South from the blight of Reconstruction. Includes an index, bibliography, reference notes, and a comprehensive appendices section. The latter provides the full texts of the two Freedmen's Bureau Acts and the four Reconstruction Acts, as well as speeches, stories, and prayers concerning the period, all which add context, meaning, understanding, and interest to this invaluable work. Amazon review from "thePost"5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, will purchase more from this author -- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020 - Verified Purchase -- "I really enjoyed this book. I've studied on General Forrest since I first came across him in the Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War. Over the years the many personal accounts of him that have been repeated and handed down did not match the "official" story I kept hearing; this book clarifies those inconsistencies. I really appreciate that a majority of the book is actual quotes, letters, and accounts from people of that time on both sides of the war. There is no better way to refute the murky water of today than with the facts from the past. After all this time of studying what actually happened during Lincoln's war I have found there was even more to learn. This book is a great way to learn about true history and the ever-interesting story that is General Forrest."
