John Wyeth served in an Alabama Cavalry unit, but not directly under Forrest. (His words even though most bibliographers state he was under Forrest). Wyeth states he was a fan of Forrest's from day one and immediately began his biography when the war records were released to the public. He also had countless first person accounts to draw on as well as a close post war association with General Pryor, co-author of the best Forrest biography. (Wyeth confirms that Forrest read and edited the Jordan/Pryor work).

An absolute must for Forrest fans. Howes W-716. Nevins II-103.
