I’m really excited to be attending the Mosby Heritage Area Association’s 2nd Annual Mosby Ranger Descendant Reunion this Saturday at the Inn at Kelly’s Ford in southern Fauquier County.
Most of you are probably familiar with the fact the the main character in my historical fiction novel Shades of Gray is based on Confederate cavalry commander John Mosby.
I look forward to meeting the descendants of the men I have so often read about in books about Mosby, and will also be signing my Civil War novel at the event. Those attending will also be bringing their Mosby Ranger artifacts, photos and documents for display. I will be taking a small field desk owned by Ranger Frank Rahm, as well as his hat band, which looks like it was made out the scraps of a flag.
The Mosby Ranger Descendant Reunion event is part of the year-long celebration of Fauquier County, Virginia’s 250th Anniversary. If you’re in the area I hope you’ll stop by. Visit the Mosby Heritage Area website for details.
Kelly’s Ford Inn is so beautiful. I visited it when I was doing research for my book. Enjoy every minute of it!
Thanks, Amy. I will! I have been there once (a few years ago) to go horseback riding. Had a great time because they let me ride a horse that had not been ridden on the trail by anyone but the trainer. It’s great fun to have a horse that you really have to ride rather than just sit on.
Hey there this week on Collectors’ Quest I am featuring people who collect all kinds of militaria. One guy has a huge collection of civil war soldier portraits and another has a whole WWII room. Check it out! http://www.collectorsquest.com/featured-week/Militaria.html
