The Most Daring Raid of the Civil War: The Great Locomotive Chase

64 pp. | Rosen | March, 2011 | Library ISBN 978-1-4488-1870-9 $29.25
(4) YA Most Daring Raids in History series. Rottman chronicles the 1862 capture of a Confederate locomotive by civilian James Andrews with the aid of twenty-two Union soldiers. Civil War buffs will follow the drama with interest, but the dense, tiny typeface may be off-putting to more casual readers. Detailed maps, illustrations, and sidebars accompany the text. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
