Foreword by Douglas Southall Freeman "A moving and powerful story, written by a Tennessean; written from the Southern stand-point, of course, but without a trace of bigotry . . . his choice of selections in that long battle-scarred record is felicitous and beyond reproach."--C. W. Thompson, New York Times "Henry's Story of the Confederacy is a remarkably clear, sympathetic, accurate, and inclusive account of the rise and fall of the Confederate states. The story is told with zest and understanding and a clarity that is not always to be found in the description of battles and campaigns."--Henry Steele Commanger

The Story Of The Confederacy

Grand Central Publishing

This is an excellent older biography of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Henry used the Official Records extensively and gathered information from a number of sources to put together a biography that is favorable to Forrest but not worshipful and very entertaining to read.
