In the American Civil War, or the War between the States, three dashing cavalry leaders - Stuart, Forrest, and Mosby - so captured the public imagination that their exploits took on a glamour, which we associate - as did the writers of the time - with the deeds of the Waverley characters and the heroes of chivalry. Of the three leaders, Colonel John S. Mosby (1833 - 1916), was, perhaps, the most romantic figure. In the South, his dashing exploits made him one of the great heroes of the "Lost Cause". In the North, he was painted as the blackest of redoubtable scoundrels.

This is his story in his own words.

I went in not knowing about mosby. He was influential in the confederate cause. Def a good listen.

A perspective that would be most useful to US history students today. History without a modern or revisionist lens, but through the eyes of a most interesting character from our past.

Excellent.

This is a great read/audio book
It's very well written and straight forward. A lot more people should write in this style. They stay on point and it's easy to follow from beginning to end. They keep you informed of the month and year as it all flows through and ring's true, and non boastful.

Greatly appreciated and well written

I thought it could have used a lot more third party commentary to provide insight and context to all of the reports and recollections. Still provided a lot of good information about this man and his contribution to the southern cause.

Dry, but very informative.

The best narrator I've ever heard. Presentation was perfect! So well researched and put into Mosbys words.
