The Gray Ghost

The Gray Ghost is an American Civil War television series that debuted in syndication in 1957. The show is based upon the true story of Major John Singleton Mosby.

Recurring characters on the program were Donald Foster as Braddock, Jean Willes as Ansonia, Ralph Clanton as a general, Dick Jones as Ned Underwood, Otto Aldis as Mueller and John Banner as Major Heros von Borcke. Gray Ghost was cancelled after one season of thirty-nine half-hour episodes. High production costs may have made the program too expensive to continue.

The book Gray Ghosts and Rebel Raiders by Virgil Cavington Jones formed the basis for the series, and Jones was technical advisor.
