In spite of focusing on the famous battles like other books from this time period dealing with historical aspects of the Civil War, Capturing a Locomotive gives the reader personal accounts of the Union soldiers who carried out the mission. The story details the capture of a railway train inside Confederate territory. Survivors of this mission were the first soldiers with the rank of Private awarded with the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Andrews' Railroad Raid, or the Great Locomotive Chase, was a military raid that occurred April 12, 1862. Volunteers from the Union Army commandeered a train and, as they rode it towards Chattanooga, they did as much damage as possible to the railroad. They were hotly pursued by the Confederate Army, first on foot and then by train. The Union raiders were eventually captured by the Confederates. Some of the raiders were immediately put to death. Those that survived were eventually awarded the Medal of Honor.

Excerpt from Capturing a Locomotive: A History of Secret Service in the Late War In narrating those' events which fell under his own eye, the writer has waived all scruples of delicacy, and used the first personal pronoun. This is far more sim ple and direct, while an opposite course would have savored of affectation. This is not a revision or new edition of the little volume published by the present writer during the rebellion. Daring and suffering, like a number of similar sketches published in newspapers, maga zines, and pamphlets, was a hasty narrative of per sonal adventure, and made no pretence of complete ness. Capturing A locomotive is broader and more historic; a large amount of valuable material is now employed for the first time; and the story is approached in an entirely different manner.

As the writer looked up from the manuscript page on a warm March afternoon of 1862, a very busy, and occasionally an amusing scene was presented. I was seated on a gentle, wooded slope which led down to the clear and quiet stream of Stone River, in Tennessee. Not being at that time "on duty," I had strolled away from the tents which whitened the level fields above, and was passing an hour in the pleasant task of preparing "war correspondence" for the Steubenville Herald. Now and then I lifted my eyes to watch the work in progress a few yards farther down the stream. A large bridge, burned by the enemy on their retreat a few weeks before, was now being rapidly repaired, or rather rebuilt.

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.
