THE
GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON CAMP #28
Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest
Bronze Bust
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.
