Nathan Bedford Forrest Memorial at Pilot Knob, near Camden, Tennessee

This old but unsent postcard tells on the back-

On Nov. 4th, 1864 Gen Forrest and his cavalry burned and sank, with artillery fire, nineteen Union Vessels, gunboats and supply boats, which were tied up at the wharf at Johnsonville on the East shore of Tennessee River (Now Kentucky Lake) across from this location known as Pilot Knob.  They destroyed immense stores of Union supplies accumulated there, which were for re-shipment to Sherman's army.
