Nathan Bedford Forrest and the Ku Klux Klan: Yankee Myth, Confederate Fact
(Note: This book does not promote the KKK. It's an in-depth history of the original Civil War era KKK, which has no connection to today's modern organization.)
REVIEW: “I just got Nathan Bedford Forrest and the Ku Klux Klan: Yankee Myth, Confederate Fact. Though I have yet to finish it, it’s unbelievable the research Lochlainn Seabrook once again put into this book. Many don’t know the truth about [the Klan during Reconstruction], Forrest’s involvement with it, or the fact that there was an all black chapter in Nashville. This book is truly an eye opener. Certainly not what we are taught or what the media has told us. To me this is one of Lochlainn’s top 5 books! It’s a must for anyone that wants the truth! I believe his books would truly help this country as a whole.” - JOHN BULL BADER

One of twelve books on General Forrest written by Lochlainn Seabrook, this title, Nathan Bedford Forrest and the Ku Klux Klan: Yankee Myth, Confederate Fact, contains rare photos and illustrations, official reports, and important eyewitness accounts by those who lived between 1861 and 1877.
In this fascinating, eye-opening book, the author explains that the original group was a conservative organization that intended to be temporary (which is why it lasted only three years), and had thousands of black supporters, assistants, and members, and was formed to protect Southerners of all races.
The author restores Forrest's reputation after being unfairly tarnished by a century and a half of attacks by the malicious and the uneducated. A must-read for all those who are in search of the facts about the General and the courageous organization that saved the South from the blight of Reconstruction.
Includes an index, bibliography, reference notes, and a comprehensive appendices section. The latter provides the full texts of the two Freedmen's Bureau Acts and the four Reconstruction Acts, as well as speeches, stories, and prayers concerning the period, all which add context, meaning, understanding, and interest to this invaluable work.
