History Today

American Free Press Radio Network

On this edition of History Today, your host Paul Angel, managing editor of The Barnes Review history magazine, will be discussing Col. John Singleton Mosby, Confederate cavalry raider and one of the Rebels who rewrote the rules of war. We will also be reading from Mosby's collected memoirs, specifically about his remembrances of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. As we see the memory of Southern culture heroes attacked and the Confederate flag torn down in its many forms, we thought that now might be a good time to discuss a man whose tactics are still studied by soldiers at West Point and also hear what Mosby had to say about two of the war's most central figures. Joining Paul in this discussion will be Dave Gahary, host of “Who’s The Bad Guy.”
