1887 Confederate Mosby’s Rangers Gray Ghost Virginia Raiders JEB Stuart Cavalry

“Mosby’s War Reminiscences and Stuart’s Cavalry Campaigns” is a firsthand account by John Singleton Mosby that chronicles the daring exploits of the 43rd Virginia Cavalry Battalion, also known as “Mosby’s Rangers,” during the American Civil War. The narrative describes the battalion’s formation under Mosby’s leadership with the support of General Robert E. Lee in 1863 and follows their reputation for rapid, hit-and-run tactics against Union forces, continuing their actions even after the repeal of the Partisan Ranger Act in 1864. Mosby provides vivid details of the numerous engagements and raids carried out by his rangers, capturing the adventurous and often perilous experiences that defined the unit’s unique role in the war, up until its disbandment following General Lee’s surrender in April 1865. The book also details various military campaigns led by Confederate General James Ewell Brown Stuart (also known as, J.E.B. Stuart) primarily Gettysburg where Mosby had served under Stuart.
