Forrest's Fighting Preacher

[Vahan]

I was just wondering if anyone has read this book on David Campbell Kelley "Forrest's Fighting Preacher"? I would like to hear your guys opinion's on it.

It's good. The reverend is an interesting man. Dr Bradley is a solid historian although his style and emphasis is somewhat for a niche group. You should enjoy the read! Forrest's subordinates get really overshadowed by the general, as do his brothers, but he would have been in a real fix without these people. Part of his military genius was knowing who could help him the best.

I haven't read the book, but it's been on my list.

I think there was a discussion about this book not too long ago.

Unfortunately, I'm not getting any results when I search previous threads.
However . . . I'll keep looking.

I tried searching first and nothing and I do know the book is a few years old.

Got it on my booklist too. But it's direct competition with books on Richard Taylor and Hiram Granbury.

It's a pretty rough n' tough booklist.

Does anyone know of a way to contact the author, Dr. Bradley?
