Review
4 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Free Official Records at a high price.By J. ColeThis book is a collection of military orders issued by Confederate General Nathan B. Forrest. These documents come from the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion; commonly called "the OR's". These documents are arranged in chronological order. In front of the book is a time-line of General Forrest's military career. Each document has a short intro that gives a background and tells who the order or letter was written to.I thought this book would be a good reference book to have on my book shelf. I could highlight certain events and the thoughts and words of the General. When the clerk rang it up; my eyes popped--- $23. Twenty-Three dollars for documents that you can find free on the internet. I decided it wasn't worth it; not by a long shot.
