These rangers eventually became the 43rd Battalion\, Virginia Cavalry\, and grew from nine to arou nd 2\,000 men. \n\nMosby's theater of operations consisted of four counti es in Northern Virginia situated west of Washington\, with Fairfax County being the closest to the Union capital. His mission was to attack and har ass as many Union outposts\, camps\, and supply points as he could find. By successfully raiding behind enemy lines\, Mosby kept large numbers of U nion soldiers confined to guarding the city of Washington\; thus those fed eral forces were prevented from fighting against General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate army. Military historians consider Mosby by far the most successful leader of such partisan guerilla activities.\n\nSix local hist orians take you to forty-two locations in Fairfax County where "Mosby's Ra ngers" conducted combat operations and describe in vivid detail what happe ned at each. Through on-site video\, hundreds of historical photos\, and an accompanying map\, this documentary presents a unique visual history of the Civil War. The film will be presented by Charles V. Mauro. There will be a short period for questions and light refreshments afterward.\n\nLoca tion: Lloyd House\, 220 N.
