[pelham]

General Nathan Bedford Forrest

 

[Larryh86GT]

I like it also. He has a serious demeanor.

I've never seen that one! Any idea on who did the portrait? Thanks so much for posting!!

On of my favorite prints of NBF. The artist is Michael Gnatek

I really like that, too. One of my favorites, though, is a detail from the portrait by Nicola Marschall:

 

[7th Mississippi Infantry]

General Nathan Bedford Forrest

I had never seen that print either, thanks for posting the image.

The artist is Michael Gnatek

Thanks !

At first glance, I thought it may have been a remarque by Lafayette Ragsdale.

 

[Patrick H]

Very nice.

Portrait artist Micheal Gnatek did this print.

 

[Cavalry Charger]

By far my favourite is this colourized version. His eyes are striking.

I don't know why but any portrait or photo of NBF scares me a wee bit (... ok ... a lot!)

I have not seen that portrait before . Colourized or black and white he does look a bit intimidating. It must have served him well.

I have the same problem! But, there is - somewhere out there - a lone photo of Forrest where he looks downright sweet and innocent. Calm, a little sad maybe, never would suspect this nice church-going family man was the same ferocious warrior who could lay out half a dozen guys every battle he was in. Had to check it three times to be sure it really was him!

I'd love to see that one!!

They definitely took down the wrong statue!

Still a little scary to me ...

Ok now I'm freaking out ...

Kind of a composite of a Fire and Brimstone Preacher, Undertaker, Head Schoolmaster and lion tamer rolled into one
