The Baton Rouge Civil War Round Table 

February, 21 2019
John Scales Brigadier General Ret.
​The Battles and Campaigns of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, 1861-1865

The Tennessean was one of the most intriguing and controversial characters to emerge during the Civil War. Books and articles on the man span the gamut from hero worship because of his remarkable battlefield victories, to condemnation for his involvement with the slaughter at Fort Pillow and later, his association with the Ku Klux Klan.
Retired Special Forces brigadier general John R. Scales plows entirely new ground with The Battles and Campaigns of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, a careful and unique examination of Forrest’s wartime activities and how his actions affected the war in the Western Theater.
