I could write a book on what I know of Nathan Bedford Forest. My home was Selma Alabama, where the famous Nathan B. Forest bridge is over the Alabama river..at the foot of Broad Street, downtown.(I was living there during the civil rights years by the way).History in that area on him is not exactly as colorful, either as the history books have it. My aunt lived in a house with cannon ball holes (patched) were still visible through the attic.It was a huge house, and grounds for all the equipment, and animals I guess. The house was taken, at time of all the burning of Selma Ironworks and Navy yard during civil war, and was used as a hospital. Prisoners were kept in Selma too.Worse thing that ever happened to the South. S.
