• John Mosby Confederate General

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.

• Saddle of Civil War agent William
  Saddle of Civil War agent William Leslie Moseby mid-late 19th century long tooled leather skirt flanking seat with high horn and steep cantle straps with iron buckles; also including stirrups bridle and girth; all pieces unmarked. approximate L19'' W15'' (3pcs) Provenance: Pennsylvania private collection. Aquired from the Estate of ''Colonel'' William L. Moseby accompanied with documentation from the estate. Other Notes: ''Colonel'' William L. Moseby or Mosby (1836-1921) was born in Rappahannock County Virginia and reportedly served in the Confederate Army as a spy against Union troops in Pennsylvania though his biography is steeped in folklore. Various reports state that he was a cousin of the famous Colonel John Mosby and according to several newspaper articles he served as a Lieutenant in his cousin's 43rd battalion although this has not been proven. He was supposedly given the task by General Robert E. Lee to operate as a scout in Southern Pennsylvania by signaling Grant's movements to Confederate troops. Family reports state that throughout the war he acted as a double-agent and stories exist of his travel to the Northern parts of Pennsylvania trading information about Southern troop movements with the Northern troops in order to secure quinine to sell back to the Southern camps where he would also relay information about Northern troop movements. After some time he became expertly familiar with the Tuscarora region of Pennsylvania. Legend has it that during an Army raid he apparently became separated from his fellow troops and happened upon a cabin that housed a beautiful young woman with whom he immediately fell in love and decided to abandon his war career. He spent the remainder of his life in Fulton County Pennsylvania where he was a famous and controversial figure even after his death.

• AMERICAN SARAH VEAZEY LUSBY
  AMERICAN SARAH VEAZEY LUSBY NEEDLEPOINT SAMPLERFramed American needlepoint sampler on linen, Sarah Veazey Lusby (Cecil, Maryland, 1784-1844), age 11, with upper and lowercase alphabet and numbers, motto reading: "life how short, eternity how long," vining floral border, fractured glass, sight: approx 17.25"h, 14.25"w, overall: approx 19"h, 16"w, 2.75lbs *Note: Sarah Veazey Lusby was the niece of Col. Thomas Ward Veazey (1774-1842)* *Provenance: The Veazey family was a prominent fixture of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The initial immigrant ancestor was John Veazey, who settled on two tracts of land in Cecil County in the late seventeenth century. Thomas Ward Veazey was born on January 31, 1774 at the family estate Cherry Grove to Edward (c.1730-1784) and Elizabeth [nee de Coursey] (c.1730-1791) Veazey. Thomas was orphaned at a young age, and would receive his education at Washington College, where he graduated in 1795. Thomas married three times to Sarah Worrell (Kent County, Maryland, d.1795), Mary Veazey (d.1810), and Mary Wallace (Elkton, Maryland, 1789-1867). He fathered eleven children. His political career began in 1808 when he served as a presidential elector for James Madison. He later served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1811 to 1812, relinquishing his seat in the General Assembly to participate in the War of 1812. During the conflict, he commanded militia forces defending Fredericktown in Cecil County, where the town was destroyed by fire during a British raid. After the war, he returned to Cherry Grove as a gentleman planter until in 1833, when he was chosen as a member of the Governor’s Council. In 1835, he was nominated as a candidate for governor, receiving fifty-three out of the seventy-six ballots cast. He was sworn in as the 24th Governor of Maryland on January 14, 1836 and would serve until 1839. His governorship weathered the constitutional crisis of 1837 and is remembered for its successful solution to the reapportionment crisis. His term would represent the last Whig Party administration to hold the Maryland governor’s office. He died on July 1, 1842 at Cherry Grove. This collection of historic items is offered through our consignor from the estate of Katherine Hartley Grauer [nee Craycroft] (1908-1997), great-granddaughter of Col. Thomas Ward Veazey.*
