Wert. This book was released on 2015-05-26. Mosby's Rangers available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. No single battalion was more feared during the Civil War than the 43rd Battalion of Virginia Cavalry. As one contemporary said, “They had…all the glamour of Robin Hood…all the courage and bravery of the ancient crusaders.” Better known as Mosby’s Rangers, they were an elite guerrilla unit that operated with stunning success in northern Virginia and Maryland from 1863 to the last days of the war. In this vivid account of the famous command of John Singleton Mosby, Jeffry D. Wert explores the personality of this iron-willed commander and brilliant tactician and gives us colorful profiles of the officers who served under him. Drawing on contemporary documents, including letters and diaries, this is the most complete and vivid account to date of the fighting unit that was so hated by General Ulysses S. Grant that he ordered any captured Ranger to be summarily executed without trial.

Mosby and his Rebel rangers tormented Union troops in Northern Virginia. Penetrating enemy lines at will, Mosby spanked a general in his bed before carrying him off as war booty, emptied $172,000 from a Federal payroll train, and taught the arrogant General Custer that two can play the game of brutal murder. By war's end a frustrated General Sheridan had sent 5,000 men to burn all of Loudoun County in a fruitless attempt to trap him. The bounty on Mosby's head was never claimed.

Download and read online ebook Ghost, Thunderbolt, and Wizard write by Robert W. Black. This book was released on 2008-03-20. Ghost, Thunderbolt, and Wizard available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Noted Ranger historian Robert W. Black turns his attention to a trio of the Confederacy's--and America's--most infamous raiders and cavalrymen: John Singleton Mosby, John Hunt Morgan, and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Combining speed, mobility, and boldness, these three soldiers struck critical blows against the Union during the Civil War, including Morgan's notorious 1863 raid that penetrated farther north than any other uniformed Confederate force. While not overlooking their flaws, Black believes these men revolutionized warfare and sees them as forerunners of the Rangers and Special Forces of the modern era.
