RE: Booth Aided by Mosby
Quote:Continued - I think Mosby did start to look for Booth, but not exclusively - the 15th Va. Cav. (Recruited here) posted pickets on the South shore of the Rappahannock, beginning at Fredericksburg, South. Presumably to intercept Booth. IMO, by this time the whole South was looking for him. But, Mosby only had enough time to put Bainbridge, Rutledge and Jett on station. (Mason was 15th VA Cav.) Wonderful research, John. Thanks - makes sense to me....
