Summary

In the American Civil War, or the War between the States, three dashing cavalry leaders - Stuart, Forrest, and Mosby - so captured the public imagination that their exploits took on a glamour, which we associate - as did the writers of the time - with the deeds of the Waverley characters and the heroes of chivalry. Of the three leaders, Colonel John S. Mosby (1833 - 1916), was, perhaps, the most romantic figure. In the South, his dashing exploits made him one of the great heroes of the "Lost Cause". In the North, he was painted as the blackest of redoubtable scoundrels.

This is his story in his own words.

Monotonous Narration!

I think that people are chosen to narrate by people who have never listened to an audiobook in their lives. Robertson Dean is not a skilled narrator and his flat style does not make for good comprehension. Instead would make excellent listening for someone wanting to be sent off to sleep.
Colonel Mosby's memoirs give interesting insights but it is indeed like hours of sifting for a few small nuggets. Mosby seems to me not a great strategist.
