Did Mosby have enough manpower in March-April 65' near the end of the war, to be of any realistic help to some of these covert operations (including Booth)?
Gene. I goofed - I mentioned Mosby's "ability to fight" in 1865 at Post 18 under the Thomas Jones Thread. It was late and I should have waited. Also "momth" is Month. OK?
Now to Post #2 here. Enoch Mason was one of the troopers from the 15th VA. CAV sent Here (King George Co. VA.) on detached duty. His original assignment was to be available to protect the kidnapped Lincoln when he was brought here along the "Secret Line" (which ran through KG.) He was one of many troopers sent here, that were expected to drive off any Union followers.
The entire Mason family was involved in the "Secret" business at that time. Socially, his sisters all married General Officers. That's my Gossip Column for today.
