| Zusammenfassung: | Unlike other books from this time period dealing with historical aspects of the Civil War, Capturing a Locomotive focuses not only on the well known battles but rather portrays the personal accounts of the Union soldiers who carried out the mission into Confederate territory. The story details the dangerous capture of a railway train, the exciting chase that ensues and the final outcome of this group of brave men. Survivors of this mission were the first soldiers with the rank of Private to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. No single story of the Civil War combines so many of the hidden underground elements that are rarely brought to the surface through traditional analysis of tactical warfare. |
| Beschreibung: | First edition, 1863, and the editions of 1864 and 1887 appeared under title "Daring and suffering"; later editions have title: The great locomotive chase. Originally published: Capturing a locomotive: a history of secret service in the late war. Washington: The National Tribune, 1885. |

Originally published: Capturing a locomotive: a history of secret service in the late war. Washington: The National Tribune, 1885. Print version record. Unlike other books from this time period dealing with historical aspects of the Civil War, Capturing a Locomotive focuses not only on the well known battles but rather portrays the personal accounts of the Union soldiers who carried out the mission into Confederate territory. The story details the dangerous capture of a railway train, the exciting chase that ensues and the final outcome of this group of brave men. Survivors of this mission were the first soldiers with the rank of Private to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. No single story of the Civil War combines so many of the hidden underground elements that are rarely brought to the surface through traditional analysis of tactical warfare.
