Nathan Bedford Forrest at the Fallen Timbers.
I read your Shiloh entry and noticed in the "Fallen Timbers" section, you say that Nathan Bedford Forrest was shot near the spine. After this, he apparently lifted a Union soldier up to serve as a shield as he retreated. Many of Forrest's biographers believe that this is an exaggeration, as his back injury would have prevented him from lifting something as heavy as a soldier. Perhaps you should include this in your entry. If you need a citation, look at Jack Hurst's biography on Forrest.


 * I actually have no biographies of Forrest immediately available, so if you would like to add a footnote to that effect, using the footnoting (and References) style shown in the article, be my guest. Hal Jespersen 23:40, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
