Unnamed Confederate Cavalry 5

This is the "party of horsemen" mentioned by Lucius in The Reivers that was led by the brother of Nathan Bedford Forrest; they rode their horses "into the lobby" of the Gayoso Hotel in Memphis and, according to Lucius, "almost captured a Yankee general" (94). Lucius does not say more about the cavalrymen, except that they included the Priest family's "remote" kinsman Theophilus McCaslin (94).
