Narrator: Tod Andrews

Opening credits narrative:

John Singleton Mosby:

We took our men from Texas, Kentucky, Virginia, the mountains and the backwoods, and the plains.

We put them under orders – guerilla fighting orders.

And what we lacked in numbers we made up in speed and brains.

Both Rebs and Yankees, strangers – they called us Mosby’s Rangers.

Both North and South they knew our fame.

Gray Ghost is what they called me.

John Mosby is my name.
