Description: I AM RELISTING THIS ITEM AS SOME ONE WAS TRYING T STEAL MY PAYMENT. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SALT PRINT, THE ONLY ONE KNOWN TO EXIST OF LT. GENERAL NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST. IT IS THE ONE USED IN THE BIOGRAPHY OF GENERAL FORREST, WRITTEN BY JORDON, AND PRYOR IN 1868 AFTER THEIR INTERVIEWS WITH THE GENERAL. THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY W. G. JACKMAN OF NEW YORK, AND THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE HAS BEEN LOST OVER TIME, I RESEARCHED JACKMAN, AND THERE IS NO RECORD OF THIS MAN EVER TO HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS IN NEW YORK! I BOUGHT THE IMAGE ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO AT THE NASHVILLE CIVIL WAR SHOW, AT THE TIME EVERYONE WAS BUYING UP ALL THE WAR PERIOD CDV's, AND THIS WAS TAKEN AFTER THE WAR AND IT WAS NOT A CDV, IT WAS PRINTED ON A LARGE SALT PRINT PAPER ABOUT 8 INCHES BY 9 INCHES; THERE WAS NO INTEREST IN IT. AFTER I BOUGHT IT I CUT IT DOWN TO FIT IT IN A GUTTA PERCHA CASE TO PROTECT IT, THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE, BUT THAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO, AND NO GOING BACK! I HAVE BEEN SETTING UP AT CIVIL WAR SHOWS AROUND THE SOUTH FOR THE LAST 21 YEARS, AND THIS WAS ALWAYS ON MY TABLE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OFFERS MADE FOR IT , BUT I ALWAYS TURNED THEM DOWN, THE FIRST WAS A TRADE FOR A CONFEDERATE MARKED BRITISH ENFIELD MUSKET, AT THAT TIME A HIGH TICKET ITEM, SINCE THEN OFFERS OF $5,000 TO $10,000.. I Had A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL SET UP BOOK FOR THE JORDAN , AND PRYOR BOOK, THE ONLY ONE THAT EXIST, IT WAS MADE WHERE PAGES COULD BE ADDED OR REMOVED TO MAKE CORRECTIONS, AFTER IT WAS PERFECT IT WAS SENT TO THE PUBLISHER , AND BOUND , BUT I SOLD IT TOTHE N.B. FORREST CAMP 215 IN MEMPHIS FOR THEIR ARCHIVES. BUT BEING A MEMBER OF THE GENERAL NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST CAMP 215 OF THE SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS. I HAVE SOLD MY NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST FAMILY PHOTO DISPLAY, WHICH CONTAINED ALMOST 90 FAMILY PHOTOS, WHICH INCLUDED 38 OF THE GENERAL BY HIMSELF, AT 81 YEARS OF AGE PUTTING UP THE DISPLAY WAS JUST TO MUCH FOR THIS OLD MAN. YOU CAN FIND MY LITTLE FORREST FAMILY ABUM LISTED ELSE WHERE FOR $20, THIS IS THE LAST 23 OF 500 THAT I HAVE PUT TOGETHER BY MYSELF OVER THE LAST 21 YEARS, NOT TO MAKE A PROFIT , BUT TO COVER MY EXPENSES OF THE SET UP AT THE CIVIL WAR SHOWS, TABLES AT MOST SHOWS COST BETWEN $80, AND $125 DOLLARS. THIS IS THE ONLY SALT PRINT KNOWN TO EXIST OF GENERAL FORRESTIT REALLY NEEDS TO BE IN A MUSEUM, I HAVE DROPPED THE PRICE $15,000, COME ON GENTLEMEN , BUY THIS FOR CONFEDERATE MUSEUMS, I PAY SHIPPING AND INSURANCE .
