Of all the great men who fought in that war, Forrest is my favorite.

Very nice. How he should be remembered. His grave has been desecrated.

Memphis groids dug him up last week

He was a better man than any of them.

Yep!!!

Man among men back in them days . He roamed around here alot.

Stonewall Jackson was another.

There were more than a few.

I happen to know some of the men that were involved in the removal of NBF and his wife.
They are honorable man, and have great respect for NBF.
What happened in Memphis was a great disgrace, but rest assured, they are treating his remains with great respect and will be reconstructing his monument at a later date.

'Stonewall'.....is an entire entity all his own! He was a no kind of BS guy also....and his students at VMI knew exactly that!!!

Jackson and Lee are my other favorites. Love Jackson's eccentricity and Lee's daring. As far as I can tell Forrest was the only soldier to go from private to general in the war.

Some pundits allow that had Stonewall Jackson survived the war may well have gone the other way. At a minimum it would have been greatly extended which may have been a bad thing.

Had Jackson survived, I believe Gettysburg would have had a different outcome. Lee had just reorganized his army and expected his new generals to understand his orders as Jackson had. It didn't work. Either the tactics would have been different or the battle would have happened somewhere else.

As a kid I had 2 litter mates Catahoula Curs as puppies and for a number of years that I named Nip and Tuck.

The same names as Robert E. Lee’s two bird dogs.

Several of us used to go to Port Hudson regularly and scour the bluffs for Civil War relics and we amassed quite a collection of mini balls, grapeshot, buttons, belt buckles and derringer. I found a clay pipe with the picture of a man etched in it and a malformed miniball with a mans faced carved in the lead.
