Mosby's Rangers.com is an online
clearinghouse for information about "the Gray
Ghost", Col.
John Singleton Mosby,
CSA,
and his partisan rangers, the 43rd
Virginia Cavalry
battalion.
Dedication:
This site is dedicated to the memory of
Virgil
Carrington "Pat" Jones and Jim
Moyer,
two giants in the world of Mosby related research.
The loss of both of them in the autumn of 1999 is
still felt deeply by historians and friends around
the world.
The site is produced by Kathryn
Coombs,
a life long Mosby fan and amateur historian (and
Civil War civilian living historian) raised in
"Mosby's Confederacy", in association with
Jeff
Smith,
who has been portraying Col. Mosby for over six
years in living
history events
and presentations to school and civic groups. Our
aim is to increase public awareness of Col. Mosby's
important role in the War Between the States, and
the overall contribution made by Partisan Rangers
operating behind enemy lines.
In
addition, we hope to expand the research base by
providing a forum
through
which
descendants
of Mosby's men and other researchers can share
information, in effect building a "virtual museum"
online, support relevant historic
preservation
efforts, and provide news on forthcoming events of
interest.
