Riding off to war with a good friend and the idealism of youth, John Barrett soon finds himself under the command of the bravest, boldest, and most righteous commander of the Civil War.
Nathan Bedford Forrest terrifies his enemies but endears himself to his comrades. At the military camps, he is a firm but caring leader who ensures his men are following orders, taking care of their horses, and taking care of themselves. On the battlefield, he becomes an instrument of destruction. His thundering orders slice through the chaos of war and spur his soldiers to action.
At first, John craves the thrill of action and becomes restless at the military camp. However, after embarking on countless midnight raids, fighting through drawn-out, bloody battles, and experiencing the deprivation of war, his original excitement begins to fade.
John Barrett follows Nathan Bedford Forrest to the bitter end, but what will it cost him?
Riding with Forrest is a fictional historical memoir that tells the coming-of-age story of its narrator while also providing insight into the bleak realities of war.
