GENERAL NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST was a brave and ingenious Confederate officer who won all but one of the battles he led; a philanthropist who gave generously to family, friends, and charities; and a humanitarian who not only spared the lives of numerous Yankees on the battlefield, but who freed his slaves years before Lincoln reluctantly issued his fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation. And unlike our liberal sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln, who purposefully delayed abolition, hindered black social and political advancement, and campaigned throughout his life to have all blacks deport...
GENERAL NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST was a brave and ingenious Confederate officer who won all but one of the battles he led; a philanthropist who gave generously to family, friends, and charities; and a humanitarian who not only spared the lives of numerous Yankees on the battlefield, but who freed his slaves years before Lincoln reluctantly issued his fake and illegal Emancipation Proclamation. And unlike our liberal sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln, who purposefully delayed abolition, hindered black social and political advancement, and campaigned throughout his life to have all blacks deported out of the U.S., after the War conservative Forrest crusaded to bring new African immigrants into the South-with full civil rights. No one would know any of this by reading the conventional titles on Forrest, however, nearly all which are written and published by enemies of the South. In fact, according to most Northern and New South authors Forrest was a violent redneck, an unregenerate racist, a barbaric slave trader, a philandering husband, an illiterate hillbilly, the founder and grand wizard of the KKK, and "the butcher of Fort Pillow." None of this is true, but it continues to be presented in conventional history books as fact. In A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest, Southern historian, Tennessee author, and Forrest scholar Col. Lochlainn Seabrook reveals the truth about one of history's most fascinating, charismatic, complex, romantic, and unique individuals. In this refreshingly positive appraisal of Forrest, widely proclaimed as Seabrook's "masterpiece," the author corrects the many falsehoods about him, and, using well researched documentation, shows that the modern negative image of the General derives solely from slanderous myths created 160 years ago by Lincoln's anti-South propaganda machine. The longest book ever written on Ol' Bedford and named "the definitive Forrest biography" by Confederate Veteran magazine, this newly revised Civil War Sesquicentennial edition includes his life story, over 2,000 footnotes, hundreds of rare photos and illustrations (many never before seen by the public), a list of Forrest's military engagements, a Forrest life calendar, Forrest and Montgomery family trees, an 800-book bibliography, a detailed index, and more. Learn the facts about Forrest, facts that have been wantonly suppressed by anti-South proponents. The Foreword is by Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, University of South Carolina, who included A Rebel Born in his work The War Between the States: 60 Essential Books. Available in paperback and hardcover. Acclaimed neo-Victorian scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is the leading popularizer of authentic Civil War history and one of the most prolific, popular, and important writer-historians in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens and John S. Mosby, he is known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South." The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and currently the unreconstructed author and editor of nearly 100 educationally enlightening books for all ages. Described by his readers as "life-altering," his voluminous writings (which includes 12 titles on Forrest) have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, he is a lifelong writer with a 45-year background in American history, and is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner! His team is seeking filmmakers to turn his screenplay of A Rebel Born into a full length feature film.
