I found a great book about General Wilson's Raid through Alabama and Georgia (22 March - 20 April 1865) entitled, "Yankee Blitzkrieg", by James Pickett Jones. In this book, on page 71, it describes Lt. Colonel Frank White's encounter with General Bedford Forrest ("The Wizard of the Saddle").

"General Long sent four mounted companies of the 17th Indiana, sabers drawn, charging the enemy. Leading the charge was Col. Frank White, characterized by General Wilson as, "a berserker of the Norseman breed, broad-shouldered, deep-chested, long-limbed... and "bearded like a pard".

White's troops entered a stand of timber and disappeared from the division commander's view. The Indianans pressed the retreating skirmishers, but suddenly found themselves facing vastly superior numbers.

Union Captain James D. Taylor, like his men, found himself engaged in furious hand-to-hand combat. The young Indiana captain's adversary was General Forrest. Riding "King Philip", his favorite horse, Forrest closed with Taylor, and the captain wounded the Confederate veteran with the blade of his saber.

Forrest's fourth Civil War wound was not serious, and the general killed Taylor with his six-shooter. Forrest said later, "If that boy had known enough to give me the point of his saber instead of its edge, I should not have been here to tell you about it!"

Wilson believed that White could have bested Forrest in hand-to-hand combat, but the "younger and slighter" Taylor could not.
