Informative history and exciting reading - a must read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ranger Mosby (Paperback)
I have read Mosby's Memoirs, Mosby's Rangers and Rebel-The Life & Times of John Singleton Mosby. Ranger Mosby by Virgil C Jones is the best of the lot. An insight to the adventurous daring of Mosby and his men; an event in history never to be repeated by men of such daring and cunning skills. Required reading for every Civil War enthusiast.

Lost Opportunity for the South (& Viet Nam),
This review is from: Ranger Mosby (Paperback)
I would suspect that this book never made it to the shelves of West Point. The West Point Generals in the Civil War (as well as Vietnam) just never understood Guerilla warfare. If Generals Lee and Westmoreland had only employed Mosby's techniques, we would have won both wars (I'm from Virginia). In reading the book from this point of view, it was a real "Fountainhead." Ranger Mosby was Roak in every sense of the word. He was daring, he persevered, and he endured. The book brought to life more than any other book I've read (including Cold Mountain) the excitement of that era.

Recommendation From A Descendant of Confederates,
This review is from: Ranger Mosby (Paperback)
The Marylanders: Without Shelter or a CrumbI read this book when I was in the third grade. It helped shape the good direction of my life. I had the pleasure of meeting Virgil Carrington Jones in Fairfax County, Virginia when he gave a talk about Col. Mosby. Mr. Jones is the modern incarnation of a scholar and a Southern gentleman. I give my strongest recommendation that you purchase it. His excellent work served as the inspiration for my book. In addition to what is told in my product review, my book details the activity of Maryland rangers and the Confederate underground during April of 1865 in St. Mary's County, Maryland.
