Mosby's men in Southern MD., part 2

[Bill Richter]

All I can refer to is William A Tidwell, April 15, 1865, Surratt Courier 22 (April-May-June1997), 6-10, 5-10, 4-9, which refers to the "Battle" of Mechanicsville. This is more of a gunfight in the dark with a few men on each side, but it secured the higher ground around Charlotte Hall for the Yankee patrols and caused LT W. Garland Smith of Mosby's command to withdraw and disband his men because he was short on supplies and in danger of being captured. It is in my Last Confed Heroes, II, 186 ff.
