Mosby
U.S. guerrilla leader. Born in Edgemont, Va., he joined the Confederate cavalry in the Civil War and was a scout with J. E. B. Stuart's troops. He led guerrilla units, called Mosby's Rangers, on raids on Union outposts in N Virginia and Maryland, disrupting supply and communication lines. His capture of Gen. E. H. Stoughton behind federal lines (1863) earned him promotion to colonel. After the war he resumed his law practice, and he later served as U.S. consul to Hong Kong (1878-85) and as assistant attorney in the U.S. Justice Department (1904-10).
