Much that Little Hawk says is true. That hatred of northerners and carpetbaggers was still strong in rural Georgia as late as 1950 when I was there. The grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who fought in the War had to die before the antipathy towards the North slowly died out.

Forrest was cleared by Congress of the charges against him. Reports are conflicting, as they often are after a hard-fought action.
