This Forgotten Land
documents the men and women, North and South, who lived in the Telegraph,
Gunston, Colchester, Beulah and Franconia areas that are located outside of the
City of Alexandria, Virginia. This area had become a forgotten land concerning
the history of the War Between the States. The book identifies skirmish sites,
Union forts and camp sites, the forgotten homes of Confederate veterans, burial
sites of Union and Confederate soldiers, and other interesting vignettes about
these areas during the most dramatic time period in our nations history. Learn
about Mosby's raid at the Rose Hill House and his attempt to capture the bogus
Governor of Virginia, Francis Pierpont, and Stringfellow's fight at Widow
Violet's house in Lorton and the fascinating story of Harrison the Spy who
married Laura Broders and then mysteriously disappeared. Visit the sites and see
the places where history was made in a small area within Fairfax County,
Virginia. I consolidated all this information because I know that there are
other Virginians and Civil War enthusiasts who will want to know about the rich
Civil War history of this area. Who were these Virginians and where did they
live? Where did they fight, and most importantly where did they die? I hope
people will buy my manuscript who want to know the true and exciting tales of
this truly historic area and want to visit and see the locations where history
has been hidden but not forgotten.

The Black Horse Troop, organized by Warrenton
gentry before the War Between the States, was one of the Confederate
Army's most fierce and respected units.It guarded John Brown at Harpers Ferry, then became famous at the
First Manassas for its role in routing the Union army and capturing
members of Congress, as they watched the battle.They became Company H, 4th Virginia Cavalry, and were
assigned as bodyguards and scouts for Stonewall Jackson.The Black Horse saved his life at Boonsboro, Md. and were at his
side in Spotsylvania, when death called him away.As they fought in every major battle of the Army of Northern
Virginia, their casualty rate rose to 50 per cent.Then they fought out of the Union encirclement at Appomattox,
refused to surrender, and tried to join Gen. Johnston in North Carolina.
*Jackie Lee of the
Fauquier Historical Society calls the book "must reading for every
Virginia".
*Anne Payne Warner says
her great grandfather, Brig. Gen. William Payne, who founded the unit,
"would read with pride this account of the Black Horse, which he
loved so much".
*John Toler, Executive
Editor of the Fauquier Times Democrat, called the book
"comprehensive and readable", and readers will be
"fascinated by the anecdotes and letters found in each
chapter".

MOSBY VIGNETTES,VOLUME VI
by
Don
Hakenson
and Gregg Dudding
Soft cover, 109 pages, 8 1/2" x 11"
Jim Moyer and Tom Evans
wrote five books during the 1990’s titled, “Mosby Vignettes, Volumes I
through V. The Vignettes were published with the intent to document short
stories on Mosby’s men and other interesting stories and articles about the
War of Northern Aggression.However Jim Moyer suddenly passed away in November 1999. Tom Evans
wishing to keep intact the legacy of the Mosby Vignettes asked Gregg Dudding and
Don Hakenson to publish a Mosby Vignette, Volume VI.Volume VI was finally published in February 2002.The book contains a story written by Colonel John S. Mosby on “Why I
fought for Virginia,” that was published in 1911, and a story written by
Virgil Carrington “Pat” Jones about the fight at Arundel’s Tavern on April
10, 1865.The book also contains stories on the Mosby fights at Fairfax Station and
Mrs. Howards House (or Gooding’s Tavern). There are vignettes on Jackson’s
Raincoat and its connection with a Mosby Ranger; Frank Stringfellow the scout
and his fight at Widow Violett’s House;and the military career and death of
Napoleon the spy.The authors both hope that the information contained in the Vignette will
be of interest to all researchers of the good Colonel.
