Greg Biggs, founding force of the Clarksville and Nashville Round Tables, will give an overview of Napoleon’s use of cavalry, drawing parallels to Nathan Bedford Forrest’s command during the Civil War. Although Forrest had no military school training, he had an inherent understanding of the value of cavalry and its use on the battlefield. His tactics and successes were studied in military schools well into the twentieth century.
Mr. Biggs has been a featured speaker at numerous Round Tables, historical conferences and events across the county, and has served as a Civil War tour guide at various battlegrounds across the country. He has been published in Blue and Gray Magazine, Civil War News, and other publications and is writing a book about Tennessee’s Civil War flags for the Tennessee State Museum.
The event is free to the public.
