PT3029 Forrest Comes Home - Recruiting for the Cause by David Wright

In the summer 1863, Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest returned to the log house in Marshall County, Tennessee, in which he had been born and reared. At the time of his birth, the area was Bedford County, and for which the boy had been named. It was not to reminisce that he returned to the old log house, but to continue his fight for Confederate independence. He was in Marshall County to recruit troopers for his depleted cavalry ranks. Some of the men who followed him were perhaps sons of his old playmates and "many would lay down their lives on the alter of their country." Such was Nathan Bedford Forrest's homecoming.
