Book excerpt: This is the unabridged edition. John Scott, the author of this book, wrote the Partisan Ranger Law on March 27, 1862, and it was approved by the Confederate Congress on April 21, 1862. The rangers operated on the whole autonomously, but they did liaise with regular Confederate forces when they were nearby. The intention of the creation of the Partisan Rangers was to provide protection from invading Union armies. However, due to the lack of formal military organization and discipline, things sometimes got out of hand. A noteworthy exception was the command of Col. John Singleton Mosby in Northern Virginia, which were considered a different category from the more undisciplined groups. Leading the cr�me-de-la-cr�me of the partisan groups, the "ubiquitous Mosby," as one journalist called him, appeared to be everywhere and his operations were remarkable. This book is an entertaining record of the spectacular adventures of Mosby's Partisan Rangers.

Download or read book Mosby s Rangers and Partisan Warfare written by Freeman E. Jones and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonel John Singleton Mosby led the most successful partisan campaign during the American Civil War. Major General J. E. B. Stuart, the Confederate Cavalry commander, allowed Mosby to form an unconventional unit with nine volunteers in December 1862. Mosby then organized, trained, and equipped the 43d Battalion of Virginia Cavalry, better known as Mosby's Rangers. This unit grew to almost one thousand men in strength and conducted many daring raids on the Union forces and lines of communication. Mosby, nicknamed the Gray Ghost, tied down Union troops in Virginia and Maryland and relieved pressure on General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. The Rangers also provided timely and accurate intelligence to Confederate corps-level units. This study examines Mosby's campaign from the unit's formation in 1863 until the termination of the war in 1865. All aspects of this unconventional campaign are described with emphasis on Mosby's tactics, techniques, and procedures. This study provides an excellent example of the successful employment of partisan warfare and the attempts to combat it. It concludes with the lessons learned and their contribution to current Army doctrine.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mosby and His Men: A Record of the Adventures of That Renowned Partisan Ranger, John S. Mosby, Including the Exploits of Smith, Chapman, Richards, Montjoy, Turner, Russell, Glasscock, and the Men Under Them The blooming fields, the orange-groves and extensive flower-gardens, no longer cheer the tourist or protect the wearied traveller from the burning sun of the South. The Southern flag no longer floats over its brave defenders; but the scenes and trials of the Southern people during this contest cannot be forgotten by those who saw and felt them. The history of the struggle will be written hereafter, when passion shall have cooled, and the historian shall be a philosopher, and not a fanatic. Then many things shall assume a different appearance from that which they now present; but no historian will ever say that the 43d Battalion of Virginia Cavalry proved recreant to their duty. To Colonel Mosby's father and mother, I return my most sincere thanks for assistance rendered me when I commenced my enterprise. To George Palmer, Esq., of Richmond, Va., I tender my obligations for similar favors rendered in 1860; while Major Richards, Captains Glasscock and Richards, and other members of the command, will please accept my grateful remembrance for the encouragement given me in my feeble efforts to narrate the deeds of heroism done by our command.

Pyott and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Singleton Mosby led a successful partisan campaign during the American Civil War for the Confederacy. Prior to the war, Mosby was a frail nondescript lawyer. Entering the war as a private; Mosby eventually rose to the rank of Colonel. He organized, trained, and equipped the 43rd Virginia Cavalry, better known as Mosby’s Rangers. This unit grew from nine men to almost nine hundred at the war’s end, and conducted many daring celebrated raids on the Union forces and their supply lines. In addition to his raids Mosby provided accurate and timely intelligence to Major General J. E. B. Stuart and General Robert E. Lee throughout his service. This study is a leadership analysis of John Singleton Mosby using the U.S. Army’s Field Manual 22-1 00, Army Leadership. The study examines Mosby’s leadership development and evaluates him against the sixteen leadership dimensions that the Army currently uses to evaluate potential officers. The purpose of this study is to determine what leadership qualities Mosby possessed that contributed to his success. The study concludes that Mosby was able to influence subordinates, peers, superiors, and non-combatants; he provided a purpose and gave them direction and motivation; he also continuously sought ways to improve and expand the organization.

The cause which the men of the South had nearest their hearts, and for which they sacri ficed so many lives, so much wealth, and their whole energies both of mind and body, has failed, their sacrifices have all been in vain, their resources have been exhausted in the fruitless endeavor to achieve their independence, and thousands of their bravest and noblest sons have fallen in the unequal contest. At the end of four years of almost superhuman exertions, they find themselves a conquered people, with the loss of every thing but their honor, seeking restoration to their former position under the Federal flag.
