A REBEL BORN
By Lochlainn Seabrook
In this true rags-to-riches story, a mountain man from the backwaters of rural Tennessee transcends his impoverished childhood and overcomes Yankee tyranny, becoming one of the wealthiest men in the South and a Confederate hero in the American Civil War. “Braveheart” meets “Gods and Generals.”

Sounds intriguing. I know so little about history, one of those subjects I didn't like in school. However, my interest has been piqued in recent years. This story sounds like and 'Against All Odds' tale, which I always have a penchant for. Hope it goes well for you!

I too often gave 5 stars, but this powerful logline truly deserves them!!
I agree Rutger, I often am a bit too generous when it comes to stars. This one sounds like it has that truly epic quality, you know precisely the stuff dreams are made of! :) The only thing I wonder about is how many bridges might have been burned along the way....?? Guess will just have to watch it to find out...
Did not do my homework. Checked. It is going to be a movie. Found this: http://www.searavenpress.com/nathan-bedford-forrest-screenplay-civil-war...
Now I'm really curious.
"Lochlainn Seabrook has signed on with renowned filmmaker Christopher Forbes (of Forbes Film), to bring Lochlainn’s new screenplay A Rebel Born - the true life story of the great Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest - to the big screen. "
Would love to read the screenplay, but I'm pretty sure because of obvious reasons that's not going to happen.
I feel your not just talking about "burned bridges" in the movie itself.
But good luck Mr. Seabrook,! Reading this logline, even your last name works in your favor.
Could we be talking about an pseudonym and/or an alter ego?
