THEY RODE WITH FORRESTPROFESSOR MICHAEL R. BRADLEYPELICAN PRESS, 2012HARDCOVER, $19.95, 144 PAGES, PHOTOGRAPHS, BIBLIOGRAPHY, INDEXAnyone familiar with Forrest's career knows of his military exploits and the type of men he commanded. A number of units under his command became famous during The War Between The States while others have remained obscure and supposedly lost to history. But with the publication of Professor Michael R. Bradley's THEY RODE WITH FORREST, we now have a complete list of the units that served with Forrest from 1861-1865.While units from Tennessee dominate those that served in his command, he had units from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, and Texas serving in his command as well. Most of these units were cavalry, with several mounted infantry regiments as well as artillery.Each state has a chapter with the units that served in Forrest's command as well as a history of each regiment with biographies of their key officers. In some of these regimental entries, the author adds interesting anecdotes about a member of the unit often tied to a specific engagement or event in their post-war career. With these entries, he puts a human face on these units. The majority of his sources come from The Confederate Veteran and the Official Records.As Forrest was promoted and commanded larger units, he and his staff of subordinates ensured that the units in his command were better equipped after a campaign from captured Union weapons, ammunition, and equipment.There are some drawbacks to the book though and they are listed below:*The use of footnotes would have shown more in-depth research.*The bibliography is annotated but not complete.
