Description

The Great Locomotive Chase is one of the most famous stories of Civil War railroading. Some of this fame is due to the daring nature of the raid and much of it is due to works like this by William Pittenger, one of the members of the Andrews Raiders who survived the war. This is a third edition of Pittenger’s memoir and has some excellent cover art and helped keep the story of the Andrews Raid in the public mind into the 20th Century.
