Inhaltsangabe:
Most Civil War Generals commanded an "Escort" or "Bodyguard" (usually 100 men)which provided personal protection, acted as messengers and scouts, etc. Fortunately William R. Dyer, a member of Nathan Bedford Forrest's Escort, kept a diary as he rode through Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi with The Wizard of the Saddle. Dyer's diary gives insight into duty at Forrest's side describing events from his unique perspective. Like so many young men of the era, Dyer experienced war on the front line. Terror, boredom, illness, and fun all make appearances in the narrative. Readers will recognize many of the characters and engagements and be introduced to new ones along the way. This entertaining and educational look at The Civil War Diary of William R. Dyer will compliment any collection of works on Forrest. Enjoy the ride!

Wayne served in the TN National Guard and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University.
