Book Description
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.
