Masters Monday: Hakenson & Mauro "A Tour Guide and History of Col. John S. Mosby's Operations in Fairfax County, VA"
2021-09-07 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom or FaceBook Live
The FOCUS on NoVA Real Estate Team and Village Drive Village are proud to welcome Don Hakenson and Chuck Mauro to talk about their book A Tour Guide and History of Col. John S. Mosby’s Operations in Fairfax County, Virginia.
One and a half years into the Civil War, John Singleton Mosby was given a small group of rangers from his former commander, General JEB Stuart to conduct independent partisan operations into Northern Virginia. These rangers would eventually become the Forty-third Battalion, Virginia Cavalry and would grow from nine to over 2,000 men.
Mosby’s mission was to attack and harass as many Union outposts, camps, and supply points he could find operating in Northern Virginia. By successfully raiding behind enemy lines Mosby would keep large numbers of Union soldiers guarding the city of Washington, thus denying federal forces in the field from fighting against General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate army. Mosby is considered by military historians as the most successful leader of such partisan guerilla activities.
This book is your tour guide to over 90 locations in Fairfax County where Colonel John Singleton Mosby conducted his raids during the Civil War. It is also a guide to the locations of the historical markers dedicated to those raids, and the locations of the graves of Mosby’s Rangers who are buried in Fairfax County. It includes a map and the history associated with each raid, his men, and all the locations in the county associated with the Grey Ghost, Colonel John S. Mosby.

Masters Monday: Carl Craig, Former FBI Agent “An Inside Look at the Chase of the 2002 Washington DC Sniper Attacks”

FOCUS on NoVA Real Estate in conjunction with the Village Drive Village, bring you Mr. Carl Craig, Former FBI Agent who will give us “An Inside Look at the Chase of the 2001 Washington DC Sniper Attacks”.
Per Wikipedia: The D.C. sniper attacks (also known as the Beltway sniper attacks) were a series of coordinated shootings that occurred during three weeks in October 2002 in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. Ten people were killed and three others were critically wounded in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area and along Interstate 95 in Virginia.
The snipers were John Allen Muhammad (age 41 at the time) and Lee Boyd Malvo (age 17 at the time), who traveled in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan. Their crime spree, which began in February 2002, included murders and robberies in the states of Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, and Washington, which resulted in 7 deaths and 7 wounded; in ten months, the snipers killed 17 people and wounded 10 others.[1]
