He had one great victory.

One of the interesting facts about John Mosby is that he had a great victory. The Warrenton Junction, Virginia, supply depot was being defended by about 80 members of the 1st West Virginia Volunteer Cavalry Regiment when Mosby attacked and took it on May 3, 1863. Mosby suffered the loss of one life, 20 wounded, and 20 prisoners. Six officers and fourteen men were killed or injured, totaling the corps' losses. A combat broke out between Mosby's soldiers and the Union Cavalry led by Colonel Mann on May 29, 1863. Mosby's raid in Greenwich, Virginia, with 40 men, derailed a supply train.


The North had difficulty thanks to John Mosby and his forces, although they only achieved one decisive win. They conducted the most widely documented attack in history. It is possible to deploy Mosby rangers into the hostile areas to take a Northern position along with 100 of his soldiers. An intriguing aspect about John Mosby is that after the Confederacy's victory, Mosby, who had joined the Provisional Army, rose fast through the ranks, becoming a lieutenant colonel on January 21 and a colonel on December 7, respectively. Mosby meticulously examined prospective recruits and mandated that everyone bring their horse.
