The Mosby Heritage Area Association

"With the bitterness of war all gone, there remains to Americans, North and South, a precious heritage of valor, of self-sacrifice, of sturdy, unflagging never-give-up spirit, a heritage which, in future days of possible stress, will prove inspiration unto us."

- Quote from the Richmond Virginian newspaper upon the death of John S. Mosby on May 30, 1916

		Who Was Mosby? - Born in Powhatan County, Virginia and raised within view of Jefferson’s Monticello, Mosby was the ultimate citizen soldier. University of Virginia-trained, he was a small town Virginia lawyer opposed to secession when the War broke out in 1861. Learn More. A Chronology of Mosby's Life - Born: December 6, 1833 at his maternal grandfather’s home, Edgemont, in Powhatan County, Virginia. Raised in Nelson and then Albemarle counties, Virginia, little is known of his childhood, other than that he was a frail, sickly child. Learn More. Mosby's Rangers - John Singleton Mosby started with 9 cavalrymen from the Confederate Cavalry command of J.E.B. Stuart on detached duty in Loudoun and Fauquier counties in early January 1863. Stuart supplied several more two weeks later. Learn More. Safe Houses - John Singleton Mosby knew that if his raiders had a camp, sooner or later federal troops would find it and capture his men. Instead, Mosby requested that patriotic Virginians board his men in their houses. Learn More. The Great Burning Raid - Mosby relied heavily on the local farmers to supply forage for his men’s nearly 1600 horses. Often leaving on two raids a day by the autumn of 1864, there was inevitably a detail led by Mosby’s quartermaster, Major Hibbs going on a “corn raid” for forage. Learn More.
