Bradley Schmehl - Forrest Takes a Hostage - Limited Edition

20 x 30 Civil War Art Print by Bradley Schmehl

While no official report of this part of the Battle of Shiloh exists, Nathan Bedford Forrest's authorized biography notes that he was head of a charge against Sherman on the final day.

A zealous cavalryman, Forrest so outdistanced the rest that he found himself surrounded by Union troops. Although wounded, he was able to haul a rather small Yank onto the rear of his saddle and hold him there for protection while shooting his way out of the fray
