Collected by George Washington Cable, these first-hand narratives open with a Union woman’s secret wartime diary from the South. They go on to the Andrews railroad raid in Georgia, the tunnel escape of Union officers from Libby Prison, John Hunt Morgan’s breakout from the Ohio penitentiary, scouting with Mosby, and Breckinridge’s flight after the fall of the Confederacy.
Real Civil War escapes told by the men who made them, as gripping as any novel. Download the free EPUB.
