Nathan Bedford Forrest Statue
Nathan Bedford Forrest Statue

The Nathan Bedford Forrest Statue is a 25 feet (7.6 m) equestrian statue of Confederate Lt. General Nathan Bedford Forrest. It was located on private land near Nashville, Tennessee, and was visible from Interstate 65 at 701D Hogan Road. The work, by amateur sculptor Jack Kershaw, was unveiled in 1998. It drew intense controversy and was removed on December 7, 2021. Forrest was depicted shooting behind himself and was flanked by Confederate battle flags. Critics said the work's distorted facial features bore little resemblance to Forrest himself.The statue was owned by Nashville businessman William C. “Bill” Dorris and was located on a narrow strip of property on the east side of I-65 in Nashville. When he died in November 2020, he left the statue in his will to the Battle of Nashville Trust (BONT), a historical non-profit which preserves and maintains portions of the Battle of Nashville battlefield. According to BONT, the statue was disassembled and moved from the site after its removal; it will not be remounted or displayed. In a joint statement issued on that date by the Trust along with the Executor and attorney for the Dorris Estate, the BONT specified the reasons for removal of the statue, noting that “each reason sets aside the contentious debate about Forrest as a person or as a Confederate general:”1. Forrest was not present at The Battle of Nashville. 2. The statue is ugly and a blight on Nashville. 3. It has been vandalized, is in disrepair, and is dangerous. 4. Having the statue in such a prominent location in Nashville distracts from the BONT’s mission and would be and has been divisive in the city we all cherish.In a separate statement, the BONT also noted that "even Forrest himself would think it was ugly,” adding that the Dorris property and statue were not on core battlefield ground. The BONT stressed in its statements that the Forrest statue was not consistent with the historical significance of the Battle of Nashville, which was one of the most decisive of the Civil War and ended the Confederacy’s western campaign, nor was it consistent with BONT’s efforts to protect the remaining historic sites of the battlefield, which currently exist within residential and commercial properties of South Nashville.

John M. Winstead Houses
John M. Winstead Houses

The John M. Winstead Houses, also known as Pleasant Hill, are three antebellum houses in Brentwood, Tennessee that were together listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.A 1988 study of Williamson County historic resources lists two buildings, each named John Winstead House, that are designated as county historic resources WM-107 and WM-108.: 21 : 41  The house designated WM-108 comprises two log structures. The first was built as a single log pen home around 1800 by John Winstead, Sr., who was one of the first white settlers in the Williamson County area, having arrived in 1799. Around 1820, by which time Winstead had extensive land holdings and owned 10 slaves, he built a second single pen log cabin, oriented diagonally to the first cabin. Winstead, Sr., died in 1822, and his family continued to live on the property. Around 1870 the two cabins were connected by a framed-in structure. Similar construction is found in the Lamb-Stephens House and the Abram Glenn House.: 18 The house designated WM-107, now known as Pleasant Hill Mansion, was built near the cabins by John M. Winstead, Jr., who by then owned about 450 acres (180 ha) of farmland. It is a two-story brick central passage I-frame home that was started in 1855 and took three years to complete. It has a central-bay entrance with Greek Revival detailing, including a two-story portico with square columns topped by capitals with Doric motifs.: 21 : 41  John Winstead, Jr., lived in this home until his death in 1896, after which ownership of the home passed to a related family named Edmondson. The house is now used as the clubhouse of the Governors Club golf course. It is similar in design to the James J. Sayers House (deemed National Register-eligible but not listed due to owner objection), and the National Register-listed John Seward House, Newton Jordan House, and Thomas Holt House.: 21 : 41 When listed on the National Register, the property included three contributing buildings and three other contributing structures on an area of 10.5 acres (4.2 ha).
