Brentwood - Nashville, Tennessee - Nathaniel Bedford Forrest statue Very ugly, large fiberglass statue of General Nathaniel Bedford
Forrest on his horse, former Confederate general AND founder of the Ku Klux Klan.
Statue is surrounded by a large display of various Confererate flags. The entire
thing stands on a strip of privately held land right next to Interstate 65 in
Nashville, TN. This is new (within the last 5 years) and ugly. Has been shot at
several times and repaired, a real politically incorrect eyesore for the city.
Owner is a wealthy elderly attorney in Nashville who proudly defends the statue and
his right to have it there. It really looks like a cartoon statue. [Sue, 02/10/2001][RA: Yes, it's as if the colorful Civil War general tumbled out of some horrific, injection mold nightmare. Here's a 2004 photo by Justin Bird.]
