HIS ARBITRARY METHODS.


Nor, as can well be imagined, WAS
Forrest red tape officer. The cir
cumlocution of office routine lily
suited his direct ways of doing
things. When his command needed
supplies he stopped on no technic-
alities of obstruction to obtain
them. The writer well remembers
once sending requisition for food
and forage to an officer at one of
the railroad stations, and was re-
fused on the grounds that the sup
plies belonged to an infantry com
mand in the rear. Forrest having
failed in the same manner to obtain
needed provision, coolly took what
he needed without further parley,
stating that if any complaint was
made, he (Gen. Forrest) was re
sponsible. His services were so
valuable that his summary methods
were overlooked. And, in addition,
it must be confessed that all his acts
were so clearly in the interest OF
the service, that it was difficult TO
find fault with his dealings. He
said to the writer, in explain alton of
his taking these supplies, that he
never hesitated to override formal
tiles when he deemed it necessary
that he would break thousand OF
them, at any cost to himself, before
his men and horses should suffer
for want of subsistence, and that
the infantry in camp could get
plenty more, while his men, always
in active service on the front, could
not obtain supplies al the time.
Another instance of his disre-
gard of rules was that he allowed
his men to absent themselves just
when they pleased. He had his
troops on hand on all necessary oc-
casions for march or fighting or
picket duty. He would turn a whole
regiment loose for a day or two
when in the vicinity of their homes
or when they could be spared, and
this when there were positive or
ders against it from army head
quarters. And the practical result
# it was that it absolutely benefit
ted the service; it satisfied and en-
couraged the men, and made them
better soldiers. No general pun
ished desertion more severely or
demanded harder service, and none
took more responsibility in behalf
of the comfort or pleasure of his
command.
hn Trnf nr al
with Forrest, the scouts of that Off
Ger were constantly in front and
rear. Forrest not only reconnoiter
ed his own ground, but that OF every
body else. His search for iniorma
ton was unceasing. 1t was this
restless watchfulness and inquiry
that constituted one of. his chief
traits. His scouts were ubiquitous.
They went everywhere, and they ex
hausted every source of news. He
always acted with every breadth
and detail of knowledge that untir-
ing reconnaissance could afford him,
and this Ubiquitous scouting pre-.
served him from surprise. He was
never taken unawares. The enemy
never crept up him. Wherever
he went he ha very road, path
thicket and point of observation oil
approach, front, flank and rear
picketed, and In addition his scouts
swarmed for miles around, sending
bulletins to him hourly. He was
the most cautious and vigilant otfi
Ger that the war produced, as wei
as the most audacious.
