The Confederate guerrilla cavalry chieftain relates the history of his daredevil command in this memoir. “No other figure of the Civil War became during his lifetime such a storybook legend as John Mosby.”—Edmund Wilson. Southern Classics Series.
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.
