I think Mosby described himself as a “Partisan Ranger”.
He was definitely “good enough”. One Union general bragged about how he was going to capture Mosby. Mosby captured him while the general was sleeping. Mosby threw back the covers and slapped him on the rump with the flat of a sword.
When Lincoln learned the General had been captured along with maybe 100 horses. He replied that he did not miss the general so much as he could make another one instantly, but the horses were a real loss.
I didn’t make that clear. I was told that was Patton’s last words, not Mosby’s.
They had hooks into his cheek bones to deal with the spinal damage sustained in the auto accident.
Again, that is what I was told.
