Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest
Sculpted by: Jane Baxendale
On November 5,
1978, a heroic sized bust of Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest was
placed in the Tennessee State Capitol by Camp # 28.
This bust was
largely paid for by funds raised from the sale of a print of General Forrest
commissioned by the camp. Camp # 28 commissioned Artist Joy Garner to paint the
famous General.
The bust,
sculpted by Jane Baxendale, wife of the late Albert Baxendale, a former member
of Camp No. 28, is one of the most popular sites in the Capitol.
