Mosby Escapades
Featured
Claude Guinn, lifelong resident of Culpeper and specialist in Civil War history, will discuss the life and escapades of John Singleton Mosby at the Nov. 5 quarterly meeting of the Rappahannock Historical Society.
"Mosby. who led a group officially known as the Partisan Rangers, was one of the most colorful people in our area," says Guinn, who has spoken to numerous groups over the past 20 years on various phases .of the Civil War. Guinn has prepared a map of the area in which Mosby and his men operated, showing the spot where he was wounded, where he disbanded his group, and many other significant locations. Guinn is a retired Army major, having served with artillery, armored, and infantry units. He is thus capable of analyzing Mosby’s tactics from a military point of view. He is also former post master in Culpeper. The Rappahannock Historical Society meeting will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m. at the society’s headquarters on Gay Street, in Washington. Members and guests will be interested in viewing recent improvements to the premises, including a large new display case for historical artifacts, and the refurbished basement. The public is invited.
