Description

John S. Mosby

Confederate ranger (1833–1916) whose guerrilla band specialized in attacking and disrupting Union supply lines. He earned the nickname ‘The Gray Ghost’ for his clandestine and highly effective attack tactics. Photo postcard of the US Capitol in Washington, DC, signed in the upper right corner in black ink, “Jno. S. Mosby,” and dated underneath in a collector’s hand, February 16, 1908. Reverse bears a couple of collector’s notations and a news clipping announcing Mosby’s death. A few creases, some scattered light toning, and a bit of trivial surface loss along top edge, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
