The majority of my family was from Goldsboro, NC. Look it up.

Very fortunate for them. That meant that they were not in the path of Gatewood's Confederate Partisan Rangers.

Gatewood was a boy scout compared to your murderous hero's from the north.

You've been stretching the truth again, colonel.

Gatewood wasn't a Partisan Ranger. Mosby was a Partisan Ranger. Ashby was a Partisan Ranger. Gatewood wasn't any part of the Confederate Army at all and actually refused to take any orders from Confederate officers. Hell, he didn't start operating his gang until August 1864!

He was nothing but an outlaw just like the union sympathizing Long/Roberts gang from that same area.
