The Gray Ghost of Civil War Virginia: John Singleton Mosby

Description

Learn about Confederate hero John Singleton Mosby: The Gray Ghost No name in the annals of the Civil War conjures up a more romantic and awe-inspiring image than that of Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby of Virginia. The epitome of the Southern cavalier, Colonel Mosby was a charismatic officer whose small band of partisans outwitted and outfought the Union army on the fields and farmlands of northern Virginia. So great was the panic inspired by this one officer’s military ingenuity, that he came to be known in the north as more of a myth than a man. Award-winning historical fiction and Southern romance author Jessica James penned a unique look at this iconic figure to share this real-life soldier's story with her fiction fans. John Mosby was the model for her fictional character Colonel Alexander Hunter in her novel SHADES OF GRAY TRILOGY. Rather than a dry biography of the Confederate hero, this book takes readers on a journey with a ragtag group of Rebels who threw aside the established rules of warfare, effectively using fear as their weapon of choice and surprise as their watchword. Read about this fascinating American Hero who played a role in shaping our nation.
