Acerca de esta escucha

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 different perspective

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 courage these men had is hard to imagine. Riding into enemy territory at night with just a few men. Loved this audio book.

Hard to imagine.

I found the details of the war years to be specifical and lacking any real substance. However, the post war years I found to be insightful and enlightening as he goes through and explains his relationship with the various leaders from both sides. the humanity shown and respect given was quite refreshing

The end was worth the beginning

A Virginia legend recounts all his adventures in the war with Lee, Jackson, and Stuart. Most fascinating by far was Mosby's postwar friendship with Grant, whom he revered.

This was a remarkable personality. The respect paid to him after the war is one indicator, by people like US Grant. A commitment to his cause combined with amazing grit and disregard for his own safety. The fact that he took such large numbers of prisoners in lieu of the alternative was notable. That his prisoners so quickly surrendered to his capture I also thought interesting. He was a small man physically, but he was evidently taken seriously on the battlefield and they needed no further pursuasion that surrender was their only option.

Remarkable Personality
