1863 â Confederate John Mosby began a series of attacks against General Meadeâs Army of the Potomac as it tried to pursue General Robert E. Lee in Virginiaâs Shenandoah Valley. Confederate Colonel John S. Mosby was known as âThe Gray Ghost.â The rather ordinary looking Mosby led his Partisan Rangers in guerilla warfare operations that continually confounded Union commanders in the Piedmont region of Virginia.
