The Civil War had been under way exactly one year when on April 12, 1862, a group of Union soldiers disguised as civilians under the leadership of spy & contraband merchant, J. J. Andrews, seized the locomotive GENERAL & three boxcars twenty miles north of Atlanta & steamed north towards Chattanooga--into American history & railroad legend. The men taking part were the first to be awarded the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military decoration. Sixteen years in the making, THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE combines scores of maps, photographs & artistic plates with actual participants' accounts. Style & format satisfy the needs of specialists & general readers. "Angle has done a good job with a subject that is familiar & fun to read about"--OHIOANA QUARTERLY; "a worthy addition to the literature on the famous event"--NATIONAL RAILWAY BULLETIN; "Angle's wise use of resources keeps the text flowing smoothly...a very credible job in separating fact from myth"--THE CIVIL WAR NEWS; "a very good book--well researched but not scholarly--intimate & personal. Angle has done a fine job retelling in detail one of the most daring military exploits of the Civil War"--John M. Priest, author ANTIETAM: THE SOLDIERS' BATTLE. Order from Craig Angle, P.O. Box 347, Rouzerville, PA 17250; 1-717-762-5133. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
