FROM GENERAL N. BEDFORD FORREST'S FAREWELL TO HIS COMMAND, MAY 9, 1865,GAINESVILLE, ALABAMA.
The cause for which you have so long and so manfully struggled, and forwhich you have braved dangers, endured privations and sufferings, andmade so many sacrifices, is today hopeless....
Civil war, such as you have passed through naturally engenders feelingsof animosity, hatred and revenge. It is our duty to divest ourselves ofall such feelings; and, as far as in our power to do so, to cultivatefriendly feelings toward those with whom we have so long contended, andheretofore so widely, but honestly, differed....
... In bidding you farewell, rest assured that you carry with you mybest wishes for your future welfare and happiness. Without, in any way,referring to the merits of the cause in which we have been engaged, yourcourage and determination, as exhibited on many hard-fought fields, haveelicited the respect and admiration of friend and foe. And I nowcheerfully and gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to the officersand men of my command, whose zeal, fidelity and unflinching bravery havebeen the great source of my success in arms.
I have never, on the field of battle, sent you where I was unwilling togo myself; nor would I now advise you to BU KİTABI OKUMAK İÇİN ÜYE OLUN VEYA GİRİŞ YAPIN!
