Had a trivia quiz last night at the South Bay Civil War Round Table. The only one I got right was, "What famous unit was depicted in a Disney film?" Mind you, I didn't know what Disney film but as no one could answer it, I took a wild guess and was right.
The Great Locomotive Chase? Don't know the unit tho,... it Was federal spies.

I'm going to hazard a guess that it was Mosbys Partisan Rangers, though from my childhood, I can remember that there was a Disney film about The Great Locomotive Chase as well. But my money is on Mosby.

yea your probably right.. especially since the locomotive chase doenst name a particular unit, so it doesnt really fit the question. I never saw the mosby raiders one tho didnt know about it

I looked it up on IMDB, just to see if there was anybody in it that I would recognize today (seeing as I saw it when I was about 8 at my uncles house) and Kurt Russell actually had a part in it. Can't remember how big, but I thought that was interesting. And it was called Mosby's Marauders, though IMDB has it listed as something else.
