Civil War as Fraternity Prank:
From Joseph Nichols' Legends of the Loudoun Valley:
At least twice when the Union army occupied Harpers Ferry [Mobberly] rode up on the Loudoun Heights, raised a Confederate flag, gave the rebel yell, fired his carbine and then stood laughing when the Union soldiers ran for cover. He once waked up George Bajent in the middle of the night and forced him to walk nine miles in his night clothes to Hillsboro where he left him.Joe Bageant's unavailable right now, but I'm certain that's another of his ancestors.
