Forrest Carter

1925-1979

Forrest Carter, originally known as Asa Earl Carter, had a complex and controversial life journey. Born in Alabama, he served in the US Navy during World War II and later worked as a radio announcer. Carter became involved in segregationist movements, including being associated with the Ku Klux Klan and working as a speechwriter for George C. Wallace. In the 1970s, he re-emerged under the pseudonym Bedford Forrest Carter and achieved literary success with novels like The Rebel Outlaw, Josey Wales and The Education of Little Tree. Despite his literary accomplishments, Carter's past and associations continued to generate public scrutiny. He passed away in Texas in 1979.
