This article provides a number of references to quotes by Barton from this book and others. As best I can determine, GB fabricated the story he presented about General Forrest and Fort Pillow. Evidently a number of reviewers have evidence that leave the impression that Barton did some fabrication of his own.
Interested parties can decide for themselves --
