Mosby Ranger Memoirs and Mosby Bequest Rumor
Col Rob Parrott of St Louis, once with Mosby’s Rangers, responds to wire notes about a $2,000,000 bequest allegedly from Baron von Massow to Mosby survivors. He doubts the gift, cites 200 Mosby veterans, and recalls raids, rear-guard tactics, and close escapes, including Mosby’s wounding and escape to Confederate lines.

Legacy of Mosbys Men Rumor of Baron Massows Gift
A rumor from Baltimore notes Baron Massow, a former Mosbys man, left 2 million dollars to Survivors, with a plan for a veterans home in Chantilly Virginia on the site of his wounding. Survivors and relatives in Virginia were urged to report to the German consul in New York as steps begin to create the home near Washington and Lees, near David Stuarts former plantation. A separate Swiss landslide damaged an inn and gardens but caused no injuries.
