Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 8. (ed. Frank Moore), Colonel Mosby outwitted. (search)
Mosby, how do you like our style of fighting? We belong to the Twenty-first New-York. And away they went, leaving Colonel Mosby dismounted, and outwitted of his best horse, saddle, overcoat, pistols, two Yankee prisoners, and at least one vacancy among his commissioned officers. Corporal Simpson rode twelve miles to the camp, closely followed by the Sergeant, and gave Captain Gere such notice of the enemy's intentions that they thought best not to pitch in at the appointed time. The captured horse is a very fine one, and with the arms, equipments, etc., is still in the possession of simpson. We believe it. is the intention of the regiment to buy them from the Government, and to present them to the Yankee Corporal who beat Mosby out of his pet nag. Captain Gere returned to camp at Halltown Saturday afternoon, having captured Lieutenant Wysong, of the Seventh Virginia. the successor of Captain Blackford, a noted guerrilla, who was killed by a sergeant of the First New-York.
