Mosby's Raid on Herndon Station
On March 17, 1863, Captain John Singleton Mosby “The Gray Ghost” raided a union outpost at Herndon Station in Northern Virginia. The raid was a part of a series of such raids coordinated by confederate Captain Mosby and his raiders in 1863 in areas of Northern Virginia. The raid on Herndon Station was the furthest north into Union lines Mosby and his men ventured. During the raid of Herndon Station 25 Union picket men were captured, and four Union men having lunch at the home of Herndon resident Kitty “Kitchen” Hanna were also found and captured by Mosby’s raiders. The Town of Herndon still remembers the raid to this day as an important part of the town’s history and participation in the Civil War.
== The days leading up to the raid ==
The raid on Herndon Station was a part of a series of raids under the command of Confederate Captain John Singleton Mosby and The 43rd Virginia Cavalry Battalion. Mosby and his men were not a traditional army unit, in that the unit was able to assemble to carry out a raid and quickly disperse afterwards. This ability gave Mosby the nickname “The Gray Ghost”, his men of the 43rd Virginia Cavalry Battalion were given the nickname “Mosby’s Raiders”. On March 15, 1863, two days before the raid of Herndon Station, Mosby was promoted to the position of Captain. This promotion was given shortly after Mosby’s raid of the Fairfax Courthouse, only a few miles south of Herndon Station, on March 5, 1863. After his promotion Mosby and his raiders then made their way to Herndon Station on March 17, 1863.
