Mosby & Lincoln

The Moneychanger

 

On 6 December 1833 was born in Virginia John Singleton Mosby who became one of the most successful cavalry raiders/partisans in the Confederate Army, the "Gray Ghost." Back in the late 1950s early 1960s before all things Southern were censored & blackened on TV there was even a TV show about him called "The Gray Ghost."

 

Doing the same favor for the Sioux that he was performing for the South, on 6 December 1862 Abraham Lincoln ordered 39 Indians hanged who had participated in the Sioux Uprising in Minnesota.
