Some called him “the wizard of the saddle”. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman damned him as “that devil Forrest.” Confederate Commander Robert E. Lee said he was the greatest military genius of the war. This giant of a man – six foot tow, two hundred and ten pounds- was Nathan Bedford Forrest, a general who killed no less than thirty men in man-to-man combat in the Civil War.
Praise for Bust Hell Wide Open
“A book worthy of the man. For all the controversy surrounding Forrest, he was an authentic American hero. And in Bust Hell Wide Open, Dr. Samuel Mitcham has given him his due. Highly recommended.” – H.W. Crocker III, author of the bestselling books Robert E. Lee on Leadership and The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War
“An engrossing read of Forrest’s life, Mitcham offers insight into the enigmatic character of Nathan Bedford Forrest.” – Gene Mueller, professor of history, retired, Texas A&M- Texarkana
