Description

Fabled Confederate ranger (1833-1916) whose guerrilla band specialized in attacking and disrupting Union supply lines. He earned the nickname 'The Gray Ghost' for his clandestine and highly effective attack tactics. Scarce 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite bust portrait of John Mosby in a suit jacket, boldly signed in ink, "Jno: S. Mostby." In fine condition, with a trivial fleck of emulsion loss to his cheek, and old mounting residue of the reverse. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. An uncommon, sought-after format for 'The Gray Ghost.'
