Life of Forrest and "With Sabre and Scalpel," by John Allen Wyeth,
 in Public Library

The public library has recently added to it's shelves two books by Dr. John Allen Wyeth, Alabamian, Confederate veteran. and farmous surgeon The books are Life of Lieutenant General Natian Bedford Forrest" published ia 1908; and With Sabre and ScalpeL the Autobiography of a Soldier and Sur geon," published in 1914.
 Dr. Wyeth was born in Marshall county. Alabama, in 1S45, and educated at the LaGrange Military academy in this state. He served during the last two years of the civil war as a private sol arly. For 15 months he was a prisoner at Camp Morton. Indiana.
 After his release from prison he took up the study of medicine, graduating from the University of Louisville in 1869. He has been surgeon in chief of a famous hospital, president of the Ameri- can Medical association, president of the New York Academy of Medicine, of the New York State Medical associa- tion, of the New York Pathological so- ciety, of the New York Southern society and of the Alabama society of New York city.
 He is the author of several books, the two mentioned above being his best known works The life of General For rest was the result of many years of study, which began with the author s civil war experience in a company that had formerly served under the great general. pr. Wyeth has taken every opportunity to verify his statements and has given the facts about General Forests "harshness and violent tenn per" as well IS his more attractive qual- ities. His conclusion is that General Forrest was "one of thee ablest sol diers of the world"
 The other book with Sabre and Scalpel'' is spoken of by the Spring field Republican as "A delightful vol ume of "reminiscences" Literary Digest says: Most interesting are Dr. wyeth's descriptions and anecdotes of southern society and plantation life before the civil war. This portion of his work en- titles him to be styled a contributor of valuable data in the history of this country" The second part of the book Is devoted wholly to the authors work as surgeon.
