The Most Daring Raids in History
The Civil War is filled with interesting and often overlooked stories. In a daring attempt to cut off the supply lines of Confederate forces, Union soldiers planned to steal a train and disable the line as they traveled to Chattanooga, TN. One man's daring pursuit led to their ultimate failure. This book tells the story of how the raid was planned, and how it ultimately fell apart. Sidebars and maps enrich the learning experience.
