Mosby’s Men

In my book, Authority agents make the BIG mistake of killing two female relatives of a badass group of outlaws.  These men are all related by blood.  Many are ex special forces of the US Army who have returned from the Vietnam War only to find their nation not only doesn’t recognize their sacrifice but treats them with disdain.  Confused, hurt and rejected, they grow bitter and seclude themselves deep in the mountains.  They find ways to make money which happen to all be illegal.  Descendants of Mosby’s Raiders, they know the Blue Ridge mountains and surrounding piedmont and Shenandoah Valley  of Virginia like the back of their hands.  Pissed off at the murder of their kin, they seek revenge and unleash violence upon the Authority agents that stupidly roam their woods in search of escaped witnesses to the murder.   In turns out, I did not have to look too far for my inspiration of these men.   The Wolves of Vinland call the area around Lynchburg, VA home.  You do not want to cross these people.  When they fight, it it is to win.  There are no half measures.  Since they are not in jail, I assume all their current activities are legal.  I don’t think they are a gang but just a fraternal order of men seeking higher consciousness through personal development.  Kind of like a fight club for country boys.
