The men who rode with Mosby were highly successful on the battlefield and for many, the same intelligence, courage, innovation and imagination they used to win acclaim as warriors carried over to their careers after the war. "Mosby's Rangers: A Legacy of Success" details the lives and accomplishments of thirty-three of those men. In that very remarkable group of thirty-three, "A Legacy of Success" describes how those Mosby Rangers went on to make their mark as lawyers, doctors, ministers, law enforcement officers and millionaires. Multiple photographs of the men are included.

This book is a collection of biographical information about the 57 men who matriculated at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and also rode with the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry - Mosby's Rangers. 21 of the men also fought with the Corps of Cadets at the Battle of New Market. The men profiled in the book (average age in 1864 was 18) packed a lot of living into their lives before turning 20, but many went on to have even more thrilling and productive lives after the war. Charlie Dear was 16 when he left VMI to join Mosby - he was wounded 12 times as a Ranger, but lived to be a rough and ready 82 year old. George Raum lived a life so full of experiences and travels that it is almost beyond belief. He had a private meeting with the Pope, attended the coronation of the Czar of Russia and made new discoveries while excavating the Sphinx. Ben Palmer, it was said, was so polite that he would ask to be excused while shooting a Yankee. The book also contains many photos of the men that are not even found in the VMI Archives.

Some of Mosby's Rangers gained greater fame than their comrades. In some cases it was because they were officers in the command and mentioned more often than the Rangers they supervised. Other Rangers gained noteriety as a result of their daring and bravery. "They Rode With Mosby" provides an extraordinary amount of information on twenty-four of Mosby's best known men. Their lives during and after the war are detailed in the book. Many of the stories about their actions are compiled here for the first time. The strong personalities, leadership abilities, strength and courage exhibited by these men makes it easy to understand why Mosby's Rangers were so successful and became the scourge of so many Union Cavalry units that entered "Mosby's Confederacy."
