Caption: Nathan Bedford Forrest
Additional Description: Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest often played large roles in small battles and small roles in large battles. The latter was certainly true at Franklin, where his desire for a flanking maneuver to the east was overruled by Union strength, unfavorable terrain, and Gen. John Bell Hood’s order of a direct frontal assault. As a result, Forrest’s men remained on the fringes of the battlefield and suffered relatively few casualties. - Library of Congress
