I received an email from a reader, that was curious if Nathan Bedford Forrest was left-handed.  He had noticed it in a print that he owned. 

After doing a little "Googling" I found this article on Bedford's Sword from the Civil War Roundtable of Dallas.

The Sword of General Nathan Bedford Forrest

And the answer is yes according to the CWRT:

On December 20, 1862 Forrest and his troops captured the U.S. Army Depot at Trenton, Tennessee. From the spoils, Forrest took a saber of the United States Dragoon pattern, which, after he had its regulation dull edge sharpened to razor keenness, he used throughout the rest of the War. Although he was naturally left-handed, he was ambidextrous by training, wore his sword in the usual position on the left side, and drew it with his right hand- although occasionally in combat he might shift it to the left. He killed seven men with the sword.
