Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Peggy Gordon Miller Dean of the Graduate School August, 2011 Copyright 2011, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James Sandy, Summer 2011 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way as a fantastic proofreader and a wonderful sounding board where many an idea was first verbalized. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my graduate education. Dr. Barton Myers was the latest addition to my committee, but he pushed me to expand my project further back into American History. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Dr. Ron Milam has been a part of my academic career from the beginning and has long served as my inspiration in pursuing a life in academia.

Kate Powell Carter provided entertainments for The Brothers’ War: Mosby and the Unionists the Rangers—food, music, and dancing—and went out of her way to provide forage from both Bellfield and Oatlands for the Rangers’ Tour 5, The Brothers War—Mosby and the Unionists—This is many horses. She was often joined by Elizabeth Carter, mistress of our newest tour, one for another day, beginning in Mosby’s Oatlands, her mother-in law. This family would provide Mosby Confederacy at Atoka. It will take you deep into adjacent with his beloved horse Coquette when he failed to partake in the Unionist country in the northern part of Loudoun County. You spoils from the Greenback Raid. The road leading to Bellfield and will see preserved villages like Lovettsville, Taylorstown, the entry lane are stereotypically evocative of the stone-walled Waterford, and Lincoln. Here, German-Virginians and landscape Mosby and his Rangers knew. Quakers tried to keep their heads down and endure the War, Directions: From Atoka (Rector’s Crossroads), turn left onto but many harbored Union sympathies. They seldom held truck Route 50, the John Mosby Highway, and continue about two miles with slavery. Mosby saw northern Loudoun as a ready source to Route 623, Willisville Road on the right. Travel 1.6 miles on of forage for his command. Some in northern Loudoun were Route 623 to its merger with Route 743, Millville Road.

  • All Quiet on the Potomac
    ALL QUIET ON THE POTOMAC. HISTORY OF THE INDEPENDENT LOUDOUN VIRGINIA RANGERS. U. S. VOL. CAV. (SCOUTS) BY BRISCOE GOODHART, CO. A. WASHINGTON, D. C. PRESS OF MCGILL & WALLACE. 1896. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1896, by BRISCOE GOODHART, In the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. As the basis of every great national achievement is to be found in the thoughts and feelings of the people, so the real history of a great army is founded upon the annals of the separate organizations of which it was composed. The "History of the Loudoun (Virginia) Rangers," as feebly set forth in the following pages, claims attentioh as a part, however small, in the history of one of the greatest wars the world has ever known. As the name of their organization indicates, they came from a State which was arrayed in arms against the authority of the National Government. No Governor, or Senator, or Member of Congress guarded their interests; nc,r was any State or local bounty held forth to them as an allurement. Their enlistment in the Union Army-their country's ari:ny-was the spontaneous outgrowth of a spirit of lofty patriotism. As they saw their duty they were not lacking in moral courage to perform that duty ; and with no lapse of years shall we ever fail to insist that the principles for which the Rangers contended were eter­ nally right, and that their opponents were eternally wrong. "\Vhile most of the events narrated in this work passed under the personal observation of the writer, he has also made use of reliable information fron1 every available source.
