Bedford Forrest ended the Civil War as a Lieutenant General in the Confederate Army. He was active in the fighting around the Yoknapatawpha area. The Grier narrator notes that his great-grandfather would holler "Forrest," among other names, while dozing "in his chair under the mulberry in the yard or on the sunny end of the front gallery or in his corner by the hearth" (112).
