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  28, is one of the most popular sites in the Capitol.
