Mohun; Or, the Last Days of Lee and His Paladins. Final Memoirs of a Staff Officer Serving in Virginia. from the Mss. of Colonel Surry, of Eagle's Nest.

In a quiet study filled with crossed sabers and portraits of Lee, Jackson, and Stuart, a veteran staff officer reflects on the swirling drama of the Civil War’s final year. His walls speak of glittering cavalry reviews, battered swords, and the camaraderie that once pulsed through the Confederate ranks. With a tone that balances reverence and restrained nostalgia, he invites listeners to step back into a world where bugles rang and banners fluttered across the Virginia plains.

The narrative begins amid the June 1863 cavalry spectacle at Culpeper, following the flamboyant J.E.B. Stuart as he leads his horsemen with laughter, song, and daring charge. From that bright, thunder‑filled moment, the memoir traces the rolling tide toward the fateful morning at Yellow Tavern, hinting at a looming darkness that will soon eclipse the earlier sunshine. Listeners will hear the clang of sabers, the echo of drums, and the voices of men who rode into history, all recounted with a steady, personal perspective that brings the era vividly to life.
