"Forrest is the devil and I think he has got some of our troops under cover... I will order them to make up a force and go out to follow Forrest to the death, if it costs ten thousand lives and breaks the Treasury. There will never be peace in Tennessee until Forrest is dead!" - Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman
The Wizard of the Saddle. When his troopers asked where he was going in May '65, he said "To Hell or Mexico".*
