Excerpt from Outdoors in Georgia, 1979, Vol. 9 Over 1200 articles and books have been published concerning the Andrew's Raid. Two full-length movies have been made around the raid. One, The General, is a classic silent comedy which starred Buster Keaton. The latest, The Great Locomotive Chase, was a Disney productio'n starring Fess Parker, which was filmed partly in North Georgia. A complete museum at Kennesaw is devoted to the raid and a locomotive-sized exhibit concerning the raid is located in Atlanta's Cyclorama. Of course, the balladeers and the comic book industry could not miss an opportunity like the raid either. Why all the attention? Just the bare bones of the story give an indication of why the Andrew's Raid warranted and received this attention. On the Virginia front, Union General George B. Mcclellan was waging his disastrous Peninsula Campaign. In early April, 1862 the war in the West was more violent. The Battle of Pittsburgh Landing (shiloh to the Yankee reader) was taking place as our story begins. The Union Commander in west Tennessee, Brigadier General 0. M. Mitchell, was looking toward the next target. He planned to penetrate the Confederate line and seize lightly defended Chattanooga via Huntsville, Alabama. A daring spy, James J. Andrews, proposed an audacious plan that could have aided Mitchell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
