Excerpt from Mosby's Rangers: A Record of the Operations of the Forty-Third Battalion of Virginia Cavalry From Its Organization to the SurrenderIn keeping a diary, which was the foundation of this work, I simply followed a habit, which had become an amusement, and at the time I had no thought Of publishing. Had I entertained a suspicion of this I would have been more industrious in collecting data Of important facts and interesting incidents. I now see with regret where I could have obtained a fund Of entertaining matter, which I did not even take pains to inquire into or make note Of at the time. So it is with us all, to a greater or less extent - as we grow older we all look back with regret at Our lost Opportunities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
