Nathan Bedford Forrest: A BiographyAmid the aristocratic ranks of the Confederate cavalry, Nathan Bedford Forrest was untutored, all but unlettered, and regarded as no more than a guerrilla. His tactic was the headlong charge, mounted with such swiftness and ferocity that General Sherman called him a "devil" who should "be hunted down and killed if it costs 10,000 lives and bankrupts the treasury." And in a war in which officers prided themselves on their decorum, Forrest habitually

Amid the aristocratic ranks of the Confederate cavalry, Nathan Bedford Forrest was untutored, all but unlettered, and regarded as no more than a guerrilla. His tactic was the headlong charge, mounted with such swiftness and ferocity that General Sherman called him a "devil" who should "be hunted down and killed if it costs 10,000 lives and bankrupts the treasury." And in a war in which officers prided themselves on their decorum, Forrest habitually issued surrender-or-die ultimatums to the enemy and often intimidated his own superiors. After being in command at the notorious Fort Pillow Massacre, he went on to haunt the South as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

Now this epic figure is restored to human dimensions in an exemplary biography that puts both Forrest's genius and his savagery into the context of his time, chronicling his rise from frontiersman to slave trader, private to lieutenant general, Klansman to--eventually--New South businessman and racial moderate. Unflinching in its analysis and with extensive new research, Nathan Bedford Forrest is an invaluable and immensely readable addition to the literature of the Civil War.

As good as high end
Size: 38W x 30L, Color: Navy
These pants fit and feel like much more expensive pants. They’re true to size and very comfortable! Prefer them to jeans any day of the week and are as dressy as I need!

Cheap and worth it.
Size: 42W x 28L, Color: Black
Cheap and looks nice, tbh. I orders a 42wx28l and it was a nice fit. I order 28L so the seam usually can sit above my ankle or shoe but It was a bit longer compared to my other various pants at 28L, it felt more like a 30L. I’ve noticed the waist seems to fit a bit larger than I’m used to but overall a nice fit and material. One thing worth mentioning is the stitching at the bottom seems a bit loose.

High Quality Cotton, Well Cut
Size: 36W x 32L, Color: Black
I was pretty impressed with the high quality of these pants. Remove the Amazon label and you wouldn't think twice if it had a Gap, Banana Repblic or Levi's instead. They are well cut and well stitched. I ordered black and the color looks great too. Fits to size.
