520    On April 12, 1862-one year to the day after Confederate 
       guns opened on Fort Sumter and started the Civil War-a 
       tall, mysterious smuggler and self-appointed Union spy 
       named James J. Andrews and nineteen infantry volunteers 
       infiltrated Georgia and stole a steam engine called the 
       General. Racing northward at speeds near sixty miles an 
       hour, cutting telegraph lines, and destroying track along 
       the way, Andrews planned to open East Tennessee to the 
       Union army, cutting off men and materiel from the 
       Confederate forces in Virginia. If they succeeded, Andrews
       and his raiders could change the course of the war. But 
       the General's young conductor, William A. Fuller, chased 
       the stolen train first on foot, then by handcar, and 
       finally aboard another engine, the Texas. He pursued the 
       General until, running out of wood and water, Andrews and 
       his men abandoned the doomed locomotive, ending the 
       adventure that would soon be famous as "The Great 
       Locomotive Chase." But the ordeal of the soldiers involved
       was just beginning. In the days that followed, the raiders
       were hunted down and captured. Eight were tried and 
       executed as spies, including Andrews. Eight others made a 
       daring escape, including two assisted by a network of 
       slaves and Union sympathizers. For their actions, before a
       personal audience with President Abraham Lincoln, six of 
       the raiders became the first men in American history to be
       awarded the Medal of Honor-the nation's highest decoration
       for gallantry. Americans north and south, both at the time
       and ever since, have been astounded and fascinated by this
       daring raid. But until now, there has not been a complete 
       history of the entire episode and the fates of all those 
       involved. Based on eyewitness accounts, as well as 
       correspondence, diaries, military records, newspaper 
       reports, deposition testimony, and other primary sources, 
       Stealing the General is a blend of meticulous research and
       compelling narrative that is destined to become the 
       definitive history of "the boldest adventure of the war."
