Except for its new French chef, the Red Fox Tavern in the hamlet of Middleburg (pop. 663) is much as it was when Mosby's Rangers made it a regular stop during the War Between the States. And the young George Washington would respond to the thunder of hoofbeats, echoing through the Blue Ridge foothills, just as he did in his own fox-hunting days down the road, over what was known as West's Ordinary...
