Composed of the male descendants of Confederate soldiers, the SCV is charged with maintaining war memorials and graves, observing Confederate memorial days and encouraging southern historical study. The Mosby Camp will soon embark on a Stokes Steed Cemetery cleanup. Among its commemorative events was the January 26 Lee Banquet featuring retired U.S. Army historian Kim Holien, who spoke on Colonel Mosby and the 43rd Battalion, Virginia Cavalry, also known as Mosby’s Rangers.
