Sometimes you just find some gems--this one on WikiSource. I was afraid I might have to type the whole thing....
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Interview_with_Nathan_Bedford_Forrest
Can we take this at face value? Not particularly....Forrest was "interviewed" by the guy while he was on his way home, stopping to throw up every so often. Some of it is probably from him--other parts are probably made up. I mean, I wouldn't go all the way home without a "scoop" if I were a reporter sent to get the skinny from the General.
But it's a good read.
