Davison (criminal justice, International Institute of the Americas, Arizona) and Foxx (history emeritus, Ottawa U., Arizona) offer a full biography of Forrest (1821-77), renowned cavalry leader of the Confederacy during the US Civil War. Among the stickier bits of his life they discuss are the alleged massacre at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, and his leadership in the Ku Klux Klan.
