1867 Confederate 1ed John
S Mosby Rangers Raiders CIVIL WAR Virginia Gray Ghost
“Mosby and His Men” is an engaging
narrative penned by J. Marshall Crawford that vividly chronicles the actions of
the 43rd Virginia Cavalry Battalion, also known as “Mosby’s Rangers,”
during the American Civil War. Established by John Singleton Mosby under the
auspices of General Robert E. Lee in 1863, this unit was renowned for its swift
strikes on Union forces and the skill with which they avoided capture. The
Battalion, growing to almost 400 men, carried on their disruptive work even
after the Partisan Ranger Act in 1864 was repealed, only disbanding in April
1865, after General Lee’s surrender. This narrative paints a detailed picture
of the battalion’s notable role during the war.
This rare 1867 first edition of this Civil
War account includes eight portrait engravings of soldiers from the 43rd
Virginia Cavalry Battalion!
