MOSBY'S RAID AT CATLETT'S STATIONS To halt the flow of supplies to Union forces on the Orange & Alexandria , Maj. John S. Mosby, , destroyed a train near here on 30 May 1863. Removing a rail to stop the train, Mosby's Rangers disabled the engine with a recently acquired howitzer, described as "too big to fit in a holster, but too small to be a cannon." Alerted by the firing, nearby Union troops (, Mich., & Vt.), commanded by Col. William D. Man, attempted to capture the Confederates. Mosby set fire to the railcars and withdrew, fighting a delaying action with his single artillery piece. Department of Historic Resources, 1996
