Mosby's Rangers C.S.A.
Colonel, JOHN SINGLETON MOSBY
Standing just over 5 feet and weighing 130 pound. During the engagement with the Yankees on May 30, 1863, Mosby came out of the fight hatless, and his horse ran against a tree with him, bruising his face. John was wounded on August 24, 1863, shot through the side and thigh, as he attacked the 2nd Massachusetts Cavalry who halted to water their horses at Billy Gooding's Tavern on the Little River Turnpike. He was carried to the nearby woods, where he was attended to by their surgeon, Doctor W. L. Dunn. Due to the painful nature of his wounds, Mosby could travel but slowly; he was carried into the pines, where he lay concealed while the pursuing Federals passed by, whereupon he was taken up in their rear and removed South where he was permitted to recuperate.

On Thursday, November 26, 1863, Mosby attacked a heavily guarded wagon train near Brandy Station; Mosby escaped unharmed; his horse was no so lucky, receiving a ball in the breast.

On September 15th, 1864, as the 13th New York Cavalry scoured Aldie for Mosby, a fight broke out and a ball shattered the handle of Mosby's pistol and another entered his groin. He was able to keep his saddle and ride, with difficulty, until his companions procured a light wagon to carry him off. Mosby was taken to The Plains, where he was kindly cared for by the family of Major Foster until he could be removed to Lynchburg. He was shot by Pvt. Henry Smith of Company H, 13th New York Cavalry.

In the latter part of September, 1864, Mosby returned to Fauquier County, although not entirely recovered from his wounds and still compelled to use crutches.

On October 10th, 1864, Mosby barely escaped capture or worse when attacking a Federal camp, his horse was shot dead and fell, pinning Mosby to the ground in the midst of the battle. He was saved when Captain Montjoy charged and drove off the Federals, Mosby riding away behind one of his men.

Mosby once retorted that "his mode of warfare is just at legitimate as that of the army fighting in their front. I am placed here to annoy them and interrupt their communications as much as possible. This I intend doing, and should I have an opportunity of throwing off a train I will do it, even if I knew my own family were upon it."

Mosby started December 21st, 1864, at the house of Joseph Blackwell, in Fauquier, attending the wedding of J. Lavender, his ordnance sergeant, when word was received of a body of Federal cavalry on the Salem road, a few miles distance. After scouting for them, Mosby stopped at the house of Ludwell Lake to have supper, when the house was surrounded by Yankee Cavalry, firing shots through the window that struck Mosby in the stomach. Falling to the floor, bleeding profusely, he crawled into a nearby bedroom where he was able to hide his Confederate coat. When the Federals entered he was able to persuade them that he was dying. Seeing his shirt and the floor saturated with blood, convinced the wound was mortal and that he was of no importance, they left after stripping him of his trousers and boots. After his men arrived, he had them examine him; it was a wound about 2 inches below his navel, an almost identical wound that had killed his commander, JEB Stuart at Yellow Tavern. He felt his intestines were cut, the ball passing from left to right, lodging in his right side. The ball was extracted the next morning; in about a week he was removed to his father's, near Lynchburg. Mosby survived this nasty wound.

After the war, he resided in San Francisco, California, practicing law; he was then appointed U.S. Consul at Hong Kong, China, during the terms of President Ulysses S. Grant. The Gray Ghost died May 30th, 1916, and is buried in the Warrenton Cemetery, Warrenton, Virginia.

Adjutant, WILLIAM H. MOSBY (Willie)
After the war, he resided in Bedford City, Virginia, making a living as the town postmaster. He was John Singleton Mosby's brother. He died August 27th, 1913, and is buried in the Greenwood Cemetery, Bedford, Virginia.

Proposing Security for the Future

Colonel John Singleton Mosby fought for the Confederacy, but he became a supporter of General Ulysses S. Grant and the Republican party after the war. In an interview with the Richmond Enquirer in January 1873, he confirmed his support of Grant and advocated the alliance in order to restore relations between the South and the federal government.

Reporter: I see it stated generally that you have some influence with General Grant -- is this true?

Colonel Mosby: I don't know what amount of influence I may have with the president, but General Grant knows the fiery ordeal I have been through here in supporting him, and I suppose he has some appreciation of it.

Reporter: What is the policy that you have advocated for the Virginia people?

Colonel Mosby: The issues that formerly divided the Virginia people from the Republican party were those growing out of the reconstruction measures. Last year the Virginia people agreed to make no further opposition to those measures and to accept all questions growing out of them as settled. There being no longer any questions, then, on principles separating Virginia people from General Grant, it became a mere matter of policy and expediency whether they would support him or [Liberal Republican party candidate] Horace Greeley. I thought it was the first opportunity the Southern people had had to be restored to their proper relation and influence with the federal administration. In other words, I said the Southern statesmen ought to avail themselves of this opportunity and support General Grant for re-election, and thereby acquire influence and control over his administration. That was the only way I saw of displacing the carpetbag crew that represented the government in the Southern states. I think that events have demonstrated that I was right.

General Grant has certainly accorded to me as much consideration or influence as any one man could have a right to expect. I know it is the disposition of General Grant to do everything in his power for the relief of the Southern people, if Southern politicians will allow him to do it. The men who control the policy of the Conservative party combine with the extreme Radicals to keep the Southern people arrayed against General Grant. As long as this course is pursued, the carpetbag crew who profess to support the administration get all the Federal patronage. This is the sustenance, the support of the carpetbag party in the South. Deprived of that, it would die tomorrow. I admit, as every Southern man must admit, the gross wrongs that have been perpetrated upon the Southern people. I am no apologist for them, but neither party proposes any atonement or indemnity for the past. I propose at least to give security for the future by an alliance between the Southern people and General Grant's administration....

Reporter: Has the president ever tendered you any position under his administration?

Colonel Mosby: Shortly after the presidential election the president said something to me on the subject of giving me an office. I told him while I would as lief hold an office under him as under any other man who had ever been president, yet there was no office within his gift that I desired or would accept. I told him that my motives in supporting him had been assailed, and my accepting a position under his administration would be regarded as a confirmation of the truth of the charge that I was governed by selfish motives. But my principal reason for not accepting anything from him was that I would have far more influence for good by taking nothing for myself....

Reporter: Colonel, I have heard that you are now promoting claims against the Government, --is that a fact?

Colonel Mosby: It is not. I have filed one claim for a citizen before the Southern Claims Commission. I shall turn this over, however, to a claim agent. I have had hundreds of claims of all sorts for prosecution against the Government offered me, but have declined them all, as I have no idea of bartering my political influence.... I do not think that any man nominated at Lynchburg will stand the most remote chance of success, because he will only be supported by the negroes of the state, led by a few white men. No matter what my relations to the administration may be, I wouldn't assist in putting this set in power.

On Sept. 22, 1864, frustrated Union soldiers hanged or shot six of Mosby's men they recently captured. Mosby included a Richmond Times-Dispatch account of the incident in his Memoirs: "Two of their prisoners the Yankees immediately hung to a neighboring tree, ... The other four were tied to stakes and mercilessly shot through the skull, each one individually". Mosby made it clear he did not wish to execute the Union prisoners, but he likewise could not abide leaving his dead men unavenged. Such murders were outside the bounds of the Southern notion of honor. Revenge killings, however, were not. Within two months, Mosby executed the same number of Union soldiers in retaliation. In a Nov. 11, 1864 letter to Major Gen. P.H. Sheridan, the commanding Union officer in the Shenandoah Valley, Mosby wrote: "Hereafter any prisoners falling into my hands will be treated with the kindness due to their condition, unless some new act of barbarity shall compel me, reluctantly, to adopt a line of policy repugnant to humanity".

A particular code of wartime ethics seemed to be at work in order to uphold the notions of Southern honor. Killing one's enemies on the battlefield was justified through a larger perspective of self-defense. Cold-blooded executions were cowardly, and therefore dishonorable. Revenge killings, on the other hand, were an unfortunate but necessary evil in order to maintain one's own sense of honor. Mosby made it clear he did not wish to execute the Union prisoners, but he likewise could not abide leaving his dead men unavenged.

3 Mar 2004 - Richmond, VA
Mosby was named after Confederate Col. John Singleton Mosby, known as the "Gray Ghost." His guerrilla cavalry controlled the portion of Virginia between Fairfax and Winchester so completely that the area was known as "Mosby's Confederacy."

The name change, approved by the School Board, will leave only one Richmond school, J.E.B. Stuart Elementary, named after a Confederate figure.

Three names will disappear from the Richmond public school system in September: Mosby, Onslow Minnis and John F. Kennedy.

In their place will be Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School and an old standby, Armstrong High School, in a different building.

King will be the new name of the Mosby building, which will be attended by students from the current Mosby and Minnis middle schools starting in September. Students will eventually decide on the school's colors and mascot.

Group forms to honor Confederate history
By Kali Schumitz 07/27/2004

A new chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy became official Sunday.

The McLean chapter, which has members throughout Northern Virginia, held its chartering ceremony and luncheon at the Worldgate Marriott in Herndon, which is next to the burial site of the chapter's namesake, Laura Ratcliffe.

Along with representatives of the Virginia Division, the new chapter laid wreaths on Ratcliffe's grave, then drove by her house and visited Mosby's Rock, in what is now McNair Farms, where Ratcliffe left notes and money for Col. John Singleton Mosby and his Rangers.

Jo Ann "Jodi" Cooper Killeen and her cousin, Catherine "Kitty" Pickett DeLano, both of McLean, began working in the fall of 2002 to organize the new chapter. After attracting prospective members, the women began meeting informally last year.

Members must prove that they have an ancestor who worked in some way to aid the Confederate side during the Civil War.

United Daughters of the Confederacy works to preserve Confederate history, particularly the role of women, through historical markers and research articles. They also offer scholarships, volunteer at veterans' hospitals and raise money to assist needy families with Confederate ancestry.

Killeen, who serves as the chapter's president, said the first project the new chapter will pursue will be to raise money for a historical marker near Ratcliffe's grave.

Although the Confederacy is often associated with slavery, Carolyn Nolan Irvine, the chapter's second vice president, said that the group does not promote a racial divide. African Americans whose ancestors fought on the Confederate side, which there were a few, are welcome to join, Irvine said.

Some of the members said they became interested in Confederate history while doing genealogical research.

Irvine, of Reston, said she has ancestors who fought on both sides of the Civil War and wants to ensure that future generations can reference their family history.

"I'm proud that they fought and they stood for a cause that they believed in," she said of her ancestors.

Those interested in learning about membership in the new chapter can e-mail Irvine at [email protected] or First Vice President Marla Grandolph at [email protected] . Irvine can also be reached at 703-906-0215.
