Three years after it disappeared, Nathan Bedford Forrest’s bust is back atop a monument erected in his honor at Old Live Oak Cemetery.

Over a decade since the unveiling of the original Forrest bust, a second ceremony was held Saturday by the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Friends of Forrest to honor the Civil War general. When the red curtain covering the new monument was removed, cannons were fired and cheers erupted from the crowd of 100 or more.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the general is back,” exclaimed Pat Godwin, president of chapter 53 of the UDC and the Friends of Forrest.

    Hopefully, they won't walk up one day a find feces all over the beloved bust.
    For some reason the imaginary slaves identify with feces.
