Collectors Showcase: Mosby Cavalry - American Civil War

The Collectors Showcase is releasing 5 Cavalry figures in their upcoming release designed after John Mosby and the 43rd Battalion, 1st Virginia Cavalry. John Mosby served for the Confederate army from 1861 to 1865. John Mosby started the war assigned to the monted rifle company of Virginia volunteers. After the First Battle of Manassas, John Mosby was re-assigned to Stuart's cavalry scouts, under J.E.B. Stuart. It was not until 1963 that John Mosby was granted permission from General Lee to form the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry, a regiment of rangers in Northern Virginia. Mosby and his rangers carried out a number of successful raids throughout the remainder of the war throughout Virginia, causing major disruptions in the Union supply chain. It was Mosby's rangers that carried the surrender documents and orders of the Confederacy at the end of the American Civil War to Appomattox Court.
