I intend to make Georgia howl.

I see every chance of a long, confused and disorganizing civil war, and I feel no desire to take a hand therein.

You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war.

Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory, but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!

After all, I think Forrest was the most remarkable man our Civil War produced on either side.
