About the Author

Neo-Victorian scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is one of the most prolific and popular writer-historians in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and the "American Robert Graves," and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South." The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and the author and editor of nearly 100 educationally enlightening books (currently). Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Col. Seabrook has a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster "Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!"

Reviews

AMAZON REVIEW, FIVE STARS - "EXCELLENT ACCOUNT OF ONE OF OUR NATION'S GREATEST MILITARY LEADERS" "Excellent account of one of our nations greatest military leaders. Factual historical account of those men, that is the CSA, who were fighting to restore the Constitution." - PETER R. FESSLERON
"Just got done reading Nathan Bedford Forrest: Southern Hero, American Patriot, and loved it." - MIKE (Franklin, Tennessee) REVIEW FROM CONFEDERATE VETERAN MAGAZINE, November/December 2010: "Lochlainn Seabrook is a cousin of Nathan Bedford Forrest and author of A Rebel Born: A Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest. The slender volume being reviewed, Nathan Bedford Forrest: Southern Hero, American Patriot, is a companion piece to this much longer work, and the four parts each summarize and defend principles espoused by Forrest. 'Forrest Antebellum' covers his beginnings, adulthood, and rapid financial success in business. 'Forrest and Lincoln's War' deals with his service to the Confederacy and his stance on freeing his slaves long before Lincoln took any action. 'Forrest Postbellum' describes his life under Reconstruction, the rise and success of the KKK, and his last days. 'Forrest in Brief' portrays him as a Rebel hero, archetypal military man, and born-again Christian. Author Seabrook has included several interesting photographs and an extensive bibliography. For Southern readers who have not read Seabrook's definitive biography of Forrest, A Rebel Born, this small book will provide all the facts one needs to know about a revered Confederate hero." - ANN RIVES ZAPPA
