Movie Premiere - Mosby’s Combat Operations in Fairfax County, Virginia

One and a half years into the American Civil War, Captain John Singleton Mosby was given a small group of rangers from his former commander, General JEB Stuart to conduct independent partisan operations into Northern Virginia.  These rangers would eventually become the 43rd Battalion, Virginia Cavalry and would grow from nine to around 2,000 men.  Mosby is considered by military historians as the most successful leader of such partisan guerilla activities.

Six local historians take you to forty-two locations in Fairfax County where "Mosby's Rangers" conducted combat operations and describe in vivid detail what happened at each.  Through on-site video, hundreds of historical photos, and an accompanying map, this documentary presents a unique visual history of the Civil War.

"An effective and detailed presentation!” Hugh Keen and Horace Mewborn, co-authors of 43rd Battalion, Virginia Cavalry, Mosby's Command.

DVDs of the movie, including a map of all the operations, will be available for $25 ($26.25 including tax).  Visa and MasterCard accepted.  The movie is 90 minutes long.  For mailed copies, send $29.25 to HMS Productions, 4708 Lillian Drive, Alexandria, VA 22310.
