"FIRST WITH THE MOST" FORREST, Autographed First edition in great condition ** FREE SHIPPING within contiguous U.S. ** The title refers to Forrest's supposed tactical maxim: "I always make it a rule to get there first with the most men." Henry uses this as a framework to explain how Forrest, despite having no formal military training, consistently outmaneuvered Union forces. Written in the 1940s, it is heavily influenced by "Lost Cause" historiography. It is very favorable toward Forrest and has been criticized by modern scholars for downplaying or defending his role in the Fort Pillow Massacre and his leadership in the early Ku Klux Klan.
