The inscription centers on Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest through the sayings “Get there first with the most men,” “Never stand and take a charge... charge them too,” and “Keep the skeer in ’em,” and it dedicates honor to Confederate militia, Home Guard, and University of Alabama cadets who repelled Union raiders ahead of General Forrest at the battles of Chehaw and Franklin, Alabama.
