John Singleton Mosby was a piece of work. He pissed off the Union for guerrilla activity as a "partisan ranger," then pissed off the south after the war for politically supporting Grant in 1868 and 1872.
Nathan Bedford Forrest's post-war activities were apparently more to the liking of the hardcore rebs.
JSM was "a piece of work" for SURE, but then what LAWYER wasn't/isn't???? nonetheless he was a GREAT guerrilla fighter as my namesake on FR was.
LOL!
i'm an admirer of BOTH.
btw, at his death, what office did COL Mosby hold???? (this should send most people to the library!!!!!)
