Autorenporträt

John Singleton Mosby, the "Gray Ghost,” was a Confederate colonel and cavalry commander during the American Civil War (1861-1865.) As a young man, Mosby developed an interest in the law as the result of serving time for the unlawful shooting of a local tavern-owner's son, and eventually established his own law practice in Virginia. Although an opponent of both slavery and the secessionist movement, Mosby joined the Confederate army at the outbreak of war in 1861, and was eventually given command of a cavalry battalion in 1863. Known as "Mosby's Rangers” or "Mosby's Raiders,” the battalion operated in an area of northern central Virginia that came to be known as "Mosby's Confederacy.” Following the war, Mosby returned to the law, and eventually served in the U. S. Department of Justice. Mosby died in 1916.
