Nathan Bedford Forrest III was born on the 6th day of April 1905 in Memphis, Tennessee. Readers may recognize this name. Nathan the III, the son of Nathan the II and great-grandson of Nathan Bedford Forrest. This eldest Forrest was a Tennessean slave trader, infamous cavalry general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, known for his brutality (see Fort Pillow massacre), and first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. One can only imagine the weight of the name that Nathan Bedford Forrest III carried all of his life, and it is interesting to consider that, as a Southerner, he fought for the preserved Union that his great-grandfather so desperately tried to destroy.
