In 1862, J. J Andrews, a United States secret agent who habitually
travelled into and out of the Confederate States on spying
missions, conceived a daring plan to disrupt the Georgia State
Railroad by the burning of bridges and creating general chaos
behind the lines. To achieve this objective he brought together a
special team of saboteurs, drawn principally from Ohio Volunteer
Regiments of the Union Army. This early covert operation meant the
troops had to travel in disguise-without uniforms-into the very
heartland of the enemy. Initially all went well, Pittenger, a young
team member describes the abduction of a locomotive in thrilling
detail. The South was not about to allow such audacity to go
unpunished however, and soon every resource it could bring to bear
was dedicated to the capture of the saboteurs. Soon the entire
countryside was in arms against them and they were taken prisoner.
For some, prison was inevitable, but for others the future held
only the gallows and the hangman's rope. The survivors soon
realised they were embarked upon a race against time and their only
hope for life meant a daring escape and bid for freedom.
