      Yes those were the days when Disney had shows that were good to watch when Walt was running the place. Not like today where Disney insults you and you kids.

    There should be a film of Mosbys life ! What a great story! I’ve read his memoirs twice over and could read them again!!

    Honestly, Hollywood could make this into one spectacular blockbuster movie. Especially, with the poor quality movies made of late. Seems to me a Director would love to do this.

    Mosby came to get James Sherman who was visiting his parents at Ash Grove in Fairfax. James was notified and left for D.C. Mosby took the elder Sherman but later released him because of the request of the citizens. James was a part of what was to become the"secret service" guarding the President.

    Mosby has been a hero of mine since I was a kid. I was looking for a used car a few years ago when I spotted a 2003 Grand Marquis. It was gray and the first thought in my mind was: this is my Gray Ghost. The front plate on the car is of his Divisional Flag.

    Good video not enough time to make all of the event. Col. Mosby also took a large amount of donkeys.President Lincoln said it best after how he could make generals but horses and mules are expensive

    Do you know the full name of WL Wheelwright who rode with Mosby? I am wondering if he is related to Frederick Dodge Wheelwright who rode with 9th Virginia cavalry with his sons.
