Re: Nathan Bedford Forest at Shilo

I did a Bing search and found this:

Charles Alexandre Grévemberg, père et fils, had both attended Yale University. It was there that
Charles fils met a Jamaican sugar planter named Isaac Delgado. To help the Confederate cause, Charles
and his mother mortgaged Albania Plantation in 1861 to help fund Nathan Bedford Forrest’s cavalry. A
breeder of thoroughbreds, Charles donated almost his entire stock of mature Arabians to Colonel
Forrest’s regiment. He then signed on as the Colonel’s aide-de-camp and died after being wounded
during a cavalry charge near Fallen Timbers at Shiloh in 1862.
