VOICE-OVER: "We took our men from Texas, Kentucky, and Virginia; from the mountains and the backwoods and the plains. We put them under orders - guerrilla fighting orders, and what we lacked in numbers, we made up in speed and brains. Both Rebs and Yankee strangers, they called us 'Mosby's Rangers.' Both North and South they knew our fame. Gray Ghost is what they called me; John Mosby is my name."
Gray Ghost is based on the true story of Major (later Colonel) John Singleton Mosby, a young lawyer who joined the Forty-Third Battalion of the First Virginia Cavalry and became the leader of a Confederate guerilla unit. This is actually one of two TV series based on the adventures of Mosby. The second was Willie And The Yank or Mosby's Marauders a mini-series on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
