Omschrijving

Daring and Suffering: A History of the Great Railroad Adventure is a historical account of an incredible Civil War-era mission undertaken by a group of Union soldiers. Written by William Pittenger, a member of the group, the book tells the story of how he and his fellow soldiers, known as the Andrews Raiders, successfully stole a Confederate locomotive and attempted to sabotage the Western and Atlantic Railroad in Georgia in 1862. The book provides a detailed account of the planning and execution of the mission, as well as the daring and dangerous escape attempts made by the soldiers after they were captured by Confederate forces. It also includes descriptions of the harsh treatment the soldiers received as prisoners of war and their eventual release after a prisoner exchange.Pittenger's writing is vivid and engaging, providing readers with a firsthand account of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by the Andrews Raiders. The book is a fascinating look at a little-known chapter of the Civil War and a testament to the courage of those who fought in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
