He was a Baptist minister who prayed through his six-shooter which he claimed was the most efficacious form of prayer, especially in dealing with Yankees...he would go into battle singing the songs of David.

Only three men in the Confederate army knew what I was doing or intended to do they were Lee and Stuart and myself.
John S. Mosby
War loses a great deal of its romance after a soldier has seen his first battle.
John S. Mosby
Well, it made you famous.

General, get up dress quick you are a prisoner!
John S. Mosby
War loses a great deal of its romance after a soldier has seen his first battle. I have a more vivid recollection of the first that the last one I was in. It is a classical maxim that it is sweet and becoming to die for one's country but whoever has seen the horrors of a battlefield feels that it is far sweeter to live for it.
John S. Mosby
