Publisher's Synopsis
Lochlainn Seabrook's powerful, transformative screenplay A Rebel Born follows Southern icon Nathan Bedford Forrest from young adulthood to the closing years of his amazing action-packed life. Both entertaining and historically accurate, this sweeping Southern-oriented drama offers the reader a rare opportunity to see the War for Southern Independence (known to Yankees as the American Civil War) from the viewpoint of the Conservative South, and on a more personal level, through the eyes of a patriotic American, celebrated Tennessean, and brilliant Confederate general.
As this important biographical film unfolds, the screenwriter - also an award-winning Forrest scholar - overturns many of the myths and lies fabricated by enemies of the South to conceal the truth about both "Old Bedford" and the War. Written for the general public, this work, based on his bestselling Forrest biography of the same name, is being hailed as the most honest, factual, and provocative screenplay ever penned about the War Between the States. Available in paperback and hardcover.
Neo-Victorian historian Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is one of the most prolific and popular writers in the world today. Known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and the "American Robert Graves," the Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and the author and editor of nearly 100 books (currently). Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous literary work has introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Col. Seabrook has a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!
