Confederate Partisan Rangers

[Southern Son]

I'm new to this forum.My interest lies in the Confederate Partisan Ranger,especially in John Hanson McNeill Rangers.
I read a lot about Nathan Bedford Forrest,John Hunt Morgan,John Singleton Mosby but only a few about the McNeill Rangers. One of the more famous deeds of valor carried off by the McNeill Rangers was the incident in Cumberland, Maryland;the kidnapping of two Federal Civil War Generals,General Kelly and General George Crook. It should also be noted that two future Presidents of the United States could have also been kidnapped that night. Brigadier General Rutherford B. Hayes and Major William McKinley.John Singleton Mosby says when he referring to the raid, that he would have to enter Washington, D.C. and come back with Lincoln to better it.
Where can i find more about these famous rangers?

Southern Son,

Found numerous online sources about McNeill's Rangers when I typed the phrase, 'John Hanson McNeill's Rangers' in my Yahoo search engine. Here are two that I listed. I do not know if you have seen them before, but they might lead you to others who know some more about the unit.

You might be able to contact the web masters at the first website and get some further information.

Good luck in your search.
