To delay the Pursuing Confederates Streight's Troops burned a bridge near Gaylesville in Cherokee Count, Alabama. When reaching the burned Bridge General Forrest ordered Cannons and empty caissons pulled over the River using Ropes and Grapevines. The historcial event symbolises how difficulty can be overcome. The Winged spur symbolises the historical mounted role. The Motto may be said to originate with General Forrest, who is claimed to have said: "Git That Furs'est with the Mostest Men". | The Coat of Arms are based on local History.
