Simon & Schuster 1991 Softcover Like New Size: 5x0x8; Confederate cavalry leader John Mosby is among the most romantic characters in the Civil War, and with good reason. From 1863 to the end of the conflict, Mosby's raiders were a constant headache for the North. Although more than 1, 000 men served under Mosby, they usually acted in small detachments of several dozen, sacking supply depots, attacking railroads, and harassing federal troops. They seemed to move behind enemy lines almost at will, and in what is perhaps their most celebrated exploit, a handful of them led by Mosby himself rode into Fairfax Station, Virginia, in the dead of the night and kidnapped a Union general. When they were not on missions, Mosby's riders simply melted into the countryside, finding safe haven in the homes of sympathetic civilians. Theirs was a guerilla war. The frustrated North eventually assigned a special contingent of cavalry to combat them, and a price was ultimately put on Mosby's head. Nobody reined him in, however, and his command enjoyed the proud distinction of never having formally surrendered to the bluecoats. Shortly after Appomattox, Mosby simply disbanded his unit. This is another fine book from the prolific Civil War historian Jeffry D. Wert, who hardly could have picked a more intriguing subject.

New York Simon and Schuster Paperbacks 1990 Later Printing Trade paperback Very good 384 pages. Endpaper maps. Illustrations. Appendix. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Black mark at bottom. Some cover wear. Some edge and page soiling. Jeffry D. Wert (born May 8, 1946) is an American historian and author specializing in the American Civil War. He has written several books on the subject, which have been published in multiple languages and countries. Derived from a Kirkus review: In this first modern study of "probably the most renowned combat unit of the Civil War, " Wert recounts the legendary deeds of the 43rd Battalion of Virginia Cavalry, a.k.a. Mosby's Rangers. Formed in January 1863 and led by Col. John Singleton Mosby, these guerrillas struck without warning at Union outposts, pickets, wagon trains, troop detachments, headquarters, and railroads, inflicting far greater losses on their foes than they suffered themselves. The Federals' Army of the Potomac never managed to eliminate the pesky partisans (at the war's end, the group disbanded without formally surrendering). Wert examines the partisans' hold on civilian affections, the claim that the Rangers gave the Confederates a six-month reprieve from disaster, Colonel Mosby's no-nonsense disciplinary procedures, and his alleged involvement with the Lincoln assassination conspiracy. A highly colorful account that vividly re-creates the dash and spirit displayed by this much-storied unit.
