Description:

From the Preface... This book does not purport to be a history of Mosby’s command, in the sense of being a full and accurate account of its operations. It is a narrative of what the writer saw of the men and their doings, as they impressed him at the time and as his memory reproduces them now. Many of their exploits—perhaps their finest performances—he neither participated in nor saw. When he has had occasion to refer to incidents outside of his personal knowledge, it is indicated. The extent and character of his information is also indicated.
