Sell Your John Mosby Signed Bendann Albumen Photo
John Singleton Mosby is known for his raids as a Confederate Civil War colonel. His main operations took place in Northern Virginia, but is known for going as far as Pennsylvania. His most famous raid was capturing Union general Edwin H. Stoughton in his sleep at Fairfax Court House in March 1863 with only 29 men, which led to Stoughton’s resignation shorter after. John Mosby was nicknamed “Grey Ghost” for his speed and evasive ways. His experiences as Civil War colonel were adapted in the television program “Grey Ghost” which ran from 1957-1958.
