John Mosby Confederate General
John Mosby Confederate General Autographed CDV & Post-War ALS Lot of 2 including signed CDV and ALS. Cdv by E. & H.T. Anthony signed in black ink in the recto margin. ALS is 1.25pp on Mosby's business letterhead dated September 13 1888 at San Francisco addressed to A.E. Allen Esq. discussing Benjamin Harrison and the upcoming presidential election: ...We have given the Democrats all they can do to defence Cleveland & Bayard. His late effort to recover ground by the introduction of the Chinese exclusion Bill does him no good in California but only proves that he is advocating no one - catching at straws. California will give overwhelming majority for Harrison and Protection. So will every other state on the Pacific slope. Harrison did in fact take California Oregon and Nevada defeating incumbent Grover Cleveland in the electoral college despite losing the popular vote. John Singleton Mosby (1833-1916) enlisted in a Virginia cavalry unit at the outbreak of war. He and one other in his unit were ready to re-enlist at the end of their year of service. He was head of his regiment for only 2 months but enough to get the attention of J.E.B. Stuart. Stuart invited him to serve as a scout and throughout the remainder of the war with his guerrilla unit of irregulars including deserters civilians and temporary men (often cavalry on furlough who needed new mounts and decided to get them from the Federals) harassed Federal troops destroyed supply and communication lines and attacked the rear of many units earning him the sobriquet the ''Grey Ghost.'' He eluded all detachments sent to capture him. After the war he returned to the practice of law and was involved in politics as well. He was always grateful to Grant for including protection of the irregulars in the surrender but refused any favors from the administration. He did serve as consul to Hong Kong under Hayes was a land agent for the Interior Dept. and served as a Justice Department attorney. Condition: CDV with soiling and edge wear print slightly warped and signature smudged. Letter with light water stain on right half of page and some smudging of ink including the signature.
