William Tecumseh Sherman
pen and ink, 11 x 14 Bristol board
Nathan Bedford Forrest is one of the most interesting and vexing characters to come out of the Civil War. He was a soldier of uncommon courage and undoubted genius, but his history of slave-trading before the war and association with the Ku Klux Klan after the war — as well as his presence at the Ft. Pillow massacre — does little to endear him to the modern age. Yet he has defenders, many of whom are adamant about his symbolizing the best of the Confederacy.
I drew this pen and ink to accompany a review of a book by Paul Ashdown and Ed Caudill titled The Myth of Nathan Bedford Forrest on The Writing Wright.
I did this drawing to accompany an short essay on the Writing Wright.
