Meet the Author

John Singleton Mosby (1833-1916) studied at the University of Virginia and was admitted to the Virginia Bar in 1854. Upon the secession of Virginia he entered the Confederate military service and subsequently formed an independent cavalry unit which operated behind Union lines in a region that came to be known as “Mosby’s Confederacy.” After the war, Mosby held several U.S. Government posts, including a consulship in Hong Kong.

    A must read for anyone who wants to learn more about the Civil War

    A great written account on Mosby and his men. Most of the book is written by Mosby and does not include extreme detail of all the conflicts about the partisan calvary unit that he commanded, but worth the read.

    Very interesting

    Did not know too much of the Confederate Special Forces at the time, but it is enlightening.
