For anyone unfamiliar with this event, this was a steam locomotive that was stolen by Union spies during the Civil War. The engine was recovered and is now in a museum in Kennesaw, Georgia, which is on my travel list. There was a chase for the spies and the train, which was pretty dramatic to read about. I have never read a book about train theft until this one. If you are interested in Civil War history, this was a pretty good book.

My ex-fiancée is buried at the Chattanooga National Cemetery, and there is a monument to Andrew's Raiders right near the entrance on Holtzclaw Avenue. If you happen to be in the area, you may find that to be a point of interest. There are also a couple of other notable figures buried there. As far as the book goes, it was really interesting to be able to put places with parts of the story. I do encounter that pretty often when reading about the Civil War, being from the Chattanooga Area, but it is neat since I mostly read European history to be able to do that. I thought the book was well researched and well written, and I learned a lot more about this than I previously knew.
