PHOTOS AND CAPTIONS FROM JOHN S. MOSBY'S PHOTO ALBUM
JOHN S. MOSBY (1833 - 1916) Confederate officer, "The Grey Ghost" led his Partisan Rangers on numerous troublesome raids against Union forces and supply trains. Nice grouping of items from John Mosby's personal post-war photograph album, includes five 4 1/2" x 3 3/4" b/w candid photographs, likely taken by Mosby, showing well-dressed younger and older ladies placing wreaths of flowers (one "X" shaped") at a cemetary. Two captions in yellow pencil in Mosby's handwriting on black photo paper are included: "Confederate Memorial services at Arlington" and "Floral design, by USCV, at Arlington Cemetary". Also included is a mounted printed poem comemmorating the event. Overall very good.
