be an address on "Mosby's Men," by Mr.
John II. Alexander of Leesburg.
The story OF Mosby's men is especially
interesting to the citizens of Falls Church.
as many who were in Mosby's command
were recruited from that place. and many
of them still reside there. The Old Falls
Church and the Baptist Church were Con-
federate prisons and hospitals. and after
their capture by the Federal Army were
used as Federal hospitals. Many Of
Mosby's men died in these hospitals and
many are buried in the church yard of his
toric Falls Church.
