Thanks. I will check him out. I got him confused with John Bell Hood.
I remember reading somewhere that Moseley tried to make a successful turnover after the war and actually became an attorny and a Republican.
Yes, Mosby served in congress after the war and it made yankee heads explode. He, too, has a great story. My kid lives near Front Royal, VA and when we visit, I love to imagine Mosby and his raiders riding throughout the country side..neat. Mosby is buried in Winchester, VA.
Gen Hood’s story is great too.
A book I recommend for those who REALLY want to learn more and get a better inside view is “A Dixie Diary” by Mary Chesnutt. It’s a contemporary view of the times and, though it may be seen as a chick book, it’s really good at giving you a look at what folks went through during the war. Hampton and Hood as well as Davis were friends of her and her husband.
