Présentation de l'éditeur
One of the most thrilling and unusual missions in the American Civil War is told in detail in the account by William Pittenger, one of the participants. The mission? To disrupt rail communications in the Confederacy. And along the way...steal a locomotive. This fast-paced, well-written story is a true as the good (later) Reverend Pittenger could write it. The tale needed no embellishment because the facts alone are incredible. Later captured, sentenced to die, and held in appalling conditions in Confederate prisons, Pittenger also relates the story of his and his comrades' survival, escape, and eventual repatriation.
