Mosby and His Rangers: Adventures of the Gray Ghost

Rating:
Summary: It was incredible
Review: I particularly like this book because of the use of words! I felt like i was really there with the gray ghost as he went about his mischevious adventures! If I were you, I'd buy it!

Rating:
Summary: An Informative Book
Review: Though written for young readers, there are few better accounts of John Singleton Mosby and his Confederate partisans than "Mosby and his Rangers." Beller provides a detailed account of Mosby's life, from his birth in Edgemont, Virginia to his death many years later. Not only does she create a prefect picture of Mosby's career, but honors his partisan rangers and shows his effect on them.
The book describes many of Mosby's succesful raids, including one where he snuck into a Union camp and kidanpped Brigadier General Edwin Henry Stoughton without any of his rangers being caught.
This book was very well written for the audience it was intended for. Informative and descriptive, "Mosby and his Rangers" is a perfect biography of one of the most effective military leaders of the Civil War.
