++++ The Fall Of Damascus: An Historical Novel Charles Wells
Russell Lee and Shepard, 1878
The Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby & Pictures From The
American Civil War. Profusely illustrated with Confederate and
Union Army images from the American Civil War.
THE chronicles of history record that in most wars some figure,
through intrepidity, originality, and brilliancy of action, has
raised himself above his fellows and achieved a picturesqueness
which is commonly associated only with characters of fiction. In
the American Civil War, or the War Between the States, three
dashing cavalry leaders - Stuart, Forrest, and Mosby - so captured
the public imagination that their exploits took on a glamour, which
we associate - as did the writers of the time - with the deeds of
the Waverley characters and the heroes of Chivalry. Of the three
leaders Colonel John S. Mosby (1833-1916) was, perhaps, the most
romantic figure. In the South his dashing exploits made him one of
the great heroes of the Lost Cause. In the North he was painted as
the blackest of redoubtable scoundrels, a fact only to be explained
as due to the exasperation caused by a successful enemy against
whom all measures were worthless and ineffective. So great became
the fame of Mosby's partisan exploits that soldiers of fortune came
even from Europe to share his adventures.
The Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby By the close of the Civil War,
John Mosby had become notorious as a raider and master of Guerrilla
tactics. The illustration at right appeared in the January 21, 1865
edition of Harper's Weekly, a New York newspaper. The paper
included the following description of Mosby: The Rebel Colonel
Mosby John Singleton Mosby, long notorious as a rebel guerrilla,
was born in Virginia in 1832. Little is popularly known of his
career before the war. In 1862 he was a Lieutenant in Lee's army,
and for his services in harassing our troops encamped near
Fredericksburg, met with General Lee's approval and was promoted
Major. In March, 1863, he captured General Stoughton at Fairfax
Court House. He was wounded near this same place in August of that
year, and was unable previous to January, 1864, to resume his
official duties. Last August he was again wounded and put hors du
combat for two months, after which he again appeared in a raid on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, for which he was made
Lieutenant-Colonel. December 10 he was given the full rank of
Colonel. We give above an account, entitled "Two Days with Mosby,"
which, as being substantially true, will prove very interesting to
our readers. This rebel Colonel has been the centre of a great deal
of fabulous romance during the war. He has been recently wounded
again, and so seriously that his friends, it is reported, despair
of his recovery.

CHAPTER VII. AT HOME. The house in which lived the maiden rescued
by Jonas stood on a small hill or large mound, and was, as may be
remembered, in the northeast corner of the city. It fronted
westward. Immense walnuts rose and overshadowed it on the south
side; poplars on the north side met the branches of the walnuts.
When the sun was at the zenith, only small clots of light
penetrated through the leaves to the roof; but the front of the
pretty building glowed brightly (notwithstanding two large
weeping-willows which stood on either side of the door) as soon as
the sun hung with diminished power over the gorge of the Abana. On
all sides, bright green turf gently descended, and dainty flowers,
like stars, shone in it, here a Milky Way, there a Pleiad group.
Each corner of the house was covered with sweet-scented jessamine.
At the foot of the declivity were airy- looking acacias, and clumps
of violets, gladioluses, poppies, amaranths, lilies, acanthuses,
narcissuses, hyacinths, irises, crocuses, rhododendrons, and many
other flowers, native and exotic; and grape-vines were clambering
over oleanders. Further off in the garden grew figs, the
purple-tinted pomegranate, mulberries, apples, apricots, and
graceful palms. The long arbor supported grape-vines and various
thicklyintertwined flowering creepers. Its ceiling was of beautiful
trailing roses. Midway between the arbor and the portico, which was
granite, red and gray, half hidden in jessamine, played a fountain
exquisitely carved of white marble with blue streaks in it like
those on the maiden's forehead. The spray of this fountain was
almost invisible, and so light that but little of it fell until the
air had borne it to the distant flowers and trees, filling the
whole garden with delicious coolness. A couple of negl...
