fustest with the mostest

Dear Faldage: you helped unlearn a phony fable:
Did Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest really say he could, "git thar fustest with the mostest?"

No, although uneducated and one not given to writing, Forrest has been misquoted throughout history and continues to be this very day. What he said was, his Civil War campaigns were successful because he "Got there first with the most men."

It seems to me that "first, second, third..." just identify
relative position in an infinite series.
