Summary
In the north of Virginia, there roams the chief of the partisans and his loyal band of Rangers. Where there is no law, he is the law. Where there is the turmoil of an invading force, he is the protest. He is everywhere, but also nowhere.
A ghost. A gray ghost.
"All spake of him but few had seen
Except the maimed ones or the low
Yet rumor made him every thing-
A farmer, woodman, refugee-
The man who crossed the field but now
A spell about his life did cling
Who to the ground shall Mosby bring?"-Herman Melville, "The Scout Towards Aldie"
