This tribute is affectionately dedicated to Col. John S. Mosby, whose deeds of valor and heroic devotion to state and southern principles are the pride and admiration of his soldiers, comrades, and fellow countrymen.
He has left a name that will live till honor, virtue, courage all shall cease to claim the homage of the heart.
