General Nathan Bedford Forrest, with his escort, riding down a backwoods byway (May 1864) |
Forrest's cavalry was armed with shotguns and pistols for close quarter battle and fought dis-mounted, keeping their horses in the rear for safety. |
Forrest was one of the last Confederate Generals to surrender. He didn't surrender until May 9th 1865 |
Forrest watching from the balcony as Morgan and his 2500 cavalrymen & 6 canons ride off into central Kentucky. |
New picture of General John Hunt Morgan during his raid thru Kentucky, Indiana & Ohio June 14 to July 26 1864. Morgan rode with Forrest's Cavalry prior to the idea of the raid. |
Another excellent Civil War photo shoot from you old friend. Some great setups and scenery. Very nice repaint on that Power Team headquarters building. I thought about that many times, but didn't have enough guts, but as always, you're an inspiration. Special thanks for sending this cool set in and sharing it with us. - GL |
