Youndlng Gen. Forrest.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Can't
Frank Fisk, 4th Ill. Cav, says that am
not correct in stating that the only times
Gen. Forrest was wounded We're at Tunnel
Hill, Ga, and Ebenezer Church, Ala.
and each time by one of the 18th Ind.
Wilder's Brigade. He claims that Cant
lockwood, 4th III. Cav, also shot him
and this would have been news to Forresi
if he was alive.
In conversation with Forrest in the
Willard Hotel, Louisville, KY, in 1867,
the Memphis Board of Trade, and Mai.
Carr, I'D Ind, being present, Gen. Forrest
said that the only occasions on which he
was hit was at Tunnel Hill and Ebenezer
Church, and neither time severely injured,
and remarked how odd it was that the 18th
Ind. got to him each time.
Further, in the published Life of Forrest
there is no mention of his being wounded
on April 8, 1862. at Pea Ridge, although
it tells of his "stampeding the Yankee
cavalry by brilliant charge" But nv
remembrance of it is that the Texas Ran
gers made the charge on our cavalry, sup
ported by the regiments of Coils. Forrest and
Adams. When our cavalry got out of the
way Wagner's Brigade of Woods Division
advanced, and the rebel cavalry fell back
in hurry.
There was other infantry on this re-
connoissanee, and we advanced until
We reached hospital, where we found
some 250 wounded rebels and about so of
our own men. Had we gone farther we
would have found many abandoned can
non i'll the road, the demonstration of the
rebel cavalry being meant to cover the
withdrawal Of these.-W. E. DOYLE, Ad-
jutant, 18th Ind, Sievensburg, Va.
