Mosby Disbands Partisan Ranger

Salem Village April 21, 1865. Twelve days after Lee's surrender Mosby says farewell to his cavalry battalion. This village was a central hub for Mosby's Raiders. The Gray Ghost was probably the best night fighter of the war. I stand before the home of Mrs John Marshall, daughter in law of the Supreme Court Chief Justice, where Lee spent the evening accompanying Longstreet's Corps. Jackson bivouacked here before Second Manassas on Aug 25th 1862, my next stop
