November 8, 2006 7:30 “John Singleton Mosby’s Exploits in Northern Virginia”

Speakers Gregg Dudding and Don Hakenson are noted authors and excellent lecturers on John Singleton Mosby. They cover very interesting aspects and tidbits of the Gray Ghost during the Civil War from his noted activities to his infamous exploits and daredevil actions. Their enthusiasm surely will entertain and enliven the audience. Dudding has authored several books on Mosby. Hakenson has authored “This Forgotten Land”, an award winning book covering Civil War sites in south-eastern Fairfax County. The original book quickly sold out and a revised edition is currently available.
