The most famous Civil War name in Northern Virginia, other than General Lee, is Colonel John Singleton Mosby, the Gray Ghost. He stands out among nearly one thousand generals who served in the war, celebrated most for his raids that captured Union general Edwin Stoughton in Fairfax and Colonel Daniel French Dulany in Rose Hill. By 1864, he was a feared partisan guerrilla in the North and a nightmare for Union troops protecting Washington City. William S. Connery will bring alive the many dimensions of this fascinating man as revealed in his book of the same title.
William S. Connery is originally from Baltimore, Maryland. He has been writing articles since 1999. For his first book, Civil War Northern Virginia, 1861 and Mr. Connery has received the Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal for this endeavor from the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Fairfax Chapter.
