	Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821-1877)
		Forrest himself wanted no more than to fight for the Confederacy as a private, but because of his prominence in society and the fact he had raised the troops himself, he ended up as their commanding officer, with the rank of colonel.
		Forrest was one of the first men to grasp the doctrines of "mobile warfare" that became prevalent in the 20th century.
		Forrest lost almost all his fortune during the war, since much of it was invested in slaves, and of what was left, he gave much to the men who had served under him, but who had come home to find they had nothing.
