The Gray Ghost - Episode Title: Christmas Carol. The Gray Ghost starring Tod Andrews was based on the real-life military career of the legendary Confederate hero, Major John Singleton Mosby, whose daring exploits and elusive raids of the Yankee forces in Virginia earned him the nickname of "Gray Ghost." This show was devoted to duty, honor, and love of country. The Gray Ghost is now very much politically incorrect and will probably never be seen television. Available on DVD from The Nostalgia Merchant.
