"My purpose was to
weaken the armies invading Virginia, by harassing their rear... To destroy
supply trains, to break up the means of conveying intelligence, and thus
isolating an army from its base, as well as its different corps from each
other, to confuse their plans by capturing their dispatches, are the
objects of partisan war. It is just as legitimate to fight an enemy in the
rear as in the front. The only difference is in the danger... John S.
Mosby. |

The Mosby Heritage Area was formed in 1995 to increase awareness of the historic, cultural and natural qualities of a unique part of Northern Virginia. Named for the Confederate colonel who harried Union troops throughout the region, the Mosby Heritage Area retains much of the landscape and landmarks of three centuries of our Nation's history. The Mosby Heritage Area is the first heritage area designated in the Commonwealth of Virginia. |
