Sons of Confederate Veterans Will Relocate Nathan Bedford Forrest’s Body Away From Memphis
The Sons of Confederate Veterans are in Memphis digging up the coffins that hold Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife so they can transport them to the National Confederate Museum in Columbia, Tennessee.
Staff at the National Confederate Museum did not return The Tennessee Star’s request for comment Sunday.
Currently reading "Bust Hell Wide Open" the life of Nathan Bedford Forest. Just got to Parker's Crossroads (Chapter 6). Fascinating individual, before during and after the Yankees invaded America. Thanks for the tip on this newsy bit. The Northern propaganda surrounding Fort Pillow is completely out of character based on every other account of his behaviour in every other aspect of his life. I'll make the trip to pay my respects, then a pint or two at Asgard.
Damn. White flight to the nth. They should not return anybody's request for comment, just move him and ghost the fucking media.

ReplyDeleteThey should rebury him on the National Mall in DC. Really make some heads explode.
ReplyDeleteForrest is too good for modern day Memphis.
