Description
Old
Forrest
[General
Nathan
Bedford
Forrest]
travels
so
fast
&
does so much that one can
scarcely
keep
pace
with him. I think seriously of
employing
a
clerk
–
whose
special
business
it shall be to
write
down in this
journal
the
exploits
of
noble
old
Forrest
. He has been in
Kentucky
–
captured
Paducah
in that state with
immense
supplies
–
other points also he
visited
in his
perambulations
not now
remembered
–
picking
up
prisoners
here
&
there. The
12th
this
month
he
appeared
before
&
demanded
the
surrender
of
Fort
Pillow
–
the
Fed
.
Commander
declining
he
determined
to take it
&
take it he did. The
telegrams
represent
that the
fort
ran
red
with
blood
–
400
out of
600
were made to
bite
the
dust
. There were some
negro
soldiers
there.
