Biography:
Born into a very poor family, Forrest became a planter and slave trader. During the Civil War he served in the western theater and rose from Private to Lieutenant General. In "Vendee" his name as a Confederate officer is on the authorization that Grumby carries in his pocket, but like the similar order that Rosa Millard had when she was killed, that "paper" is probably a forgery (113).
