In "The Most Daring Raid of the Civil War: The Great Locomotive Chase," Gordon L. Rottman recounts a thrilling and audacious plot that unfolded during the American Civil War. In April 1862, a group of Union soldiers led by James J. Andrews infiltrated deep into Confederate territory with the daring objective of stealing a locomotive, the General, to disrupt Southern supply lines. The bold plan led to a high-stakes chase as the Confederate forces pursued them, igniting a series of dramatic encounters. This gripping story highlights bravery, cunning tactics, and the relentless spirit of the men involved in one of the war's most famous raids.
