Sheppard says, "He must, of course, be considered first and foremost as a soldier...but he was also a splendid and admirable man." This bio takes him from birth to death with the meat of the narrative discussing his Civil War activities. One of the four or five must have Forrest biographies. All five plates and six sketch maps that are required are present. Civil War. Nevins I-88. Dornbusch IV-8787.

Description:
Little Rock: Tunnah and Pittard, 1898. First. Hard Bound. Near Fine./None. Rare (and expensive) little book written by a man who knew individuals intimately in Helena, Arkansas. The author was a pre-War business partner with Cleburne and married into Hindman's family. One of the earliest bios of the great Cleburne who was a division commander, Army of Tennessee, until he gave his life on the ramparts of the Franklin defenses in 1864. Cleburne was arguably the best division commander on either side. Very little can be found on General Hindman, also a general in the Army of Tennessee. He began as the colonel of the 2nd Arkansas but rapidly gained major general status. He suffered a major facial wound at Kennesaw, fled to Mexico following the War, returned and was assassinated in Arkansas. Nevins II-78: "...of value because of the scarcity of data on either..." Howes N-17. Dornbusch II-3022.

Description:
London: Macmillan, 1867. First. Hard Cover. Good.Front board has a sticker from the Mitchell Royal Library. No other library markings detected. Rear hinge starting. Foxing throughout./None.. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE AND INTERESTING BOOK. ITS RARITY IS LIKELY DUE TO IT BEING PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WAR. The author traveled extensively about the United States with emphasis on the post-War South, 1867 to be exact. His detailed journal is chronological and reported by the city he visited. There are supplemental chapters on the Negro, the Indian and his possible extermination, the Finians (little known incident involving Canada) and the Alabama claims. Overall the author was impressed by Americans and their friendliness. Not in Nevins. Howes L-117.

Wilmington, DE: Historical Society of Delaware, 1909. First. WRAPPERS. Covering wraps chipped and just hanging to the text./None.. WRAPPERS. A Second Army Corps unit, it was known as the "Crazy Delawares." It fought under General Richardson at the Bloody Lane where it made a highly effective charge that went unnoticed by higher echelons. Seems a real sore spot with unit members! It served in all the engagements during the Seven Days, Fredericksburg in the leading attacking elements, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg (Wheat Field), Bristoe Station, and Spottsylvania. The unit's service terminated in the summer of 1864. Not in Nevins. Dornbusch II-181. Delaware stuff is hard to find, likely due to the small number of units the State fielded.
