Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Capturing a Locomotive: A History of Secret Service in the Late War In narrating those' events which fell under his own eye, the writer has waived all scruples of delicacy, and used the first personal pronoun. This is far more sim ple and direct, while an opposite course would have savored of affectation. This is not a revision or new edition of the little volume published by the present writer during the rebellion. Daring and suffering, like a number of similar sketches published in newspapers, maga zines, and pamphlets, was a hasty narrative of per sonal adventure, and made no pretence of complete ness. Capturing A locomotive is broader and more historic; a large amount of valuable material is now employed for the first time; and the story is approached in an entirely different manner.

Book excerpt: As the writer looked up from the manuscript page on a warm March afternoon of 1862, a very busy, and occasionally an amusing scene was presented. I was seated on a gentle, wooded slope which led down to the clear and quiet stream of Stone River, in Tennessee. Not being at that time "on duty," I had strolled away from the tents which whitened the level fields above, and was passing an hour in the pleasant task of preparing "war correspondence" for the Steubenville Herald. Now and then I lifted my eyes to watch the work in progress a few yards farther down the stream. A large bridge, burned by the enemy on their retreat a few weeks before, was now being rapidly repaired, or rather rebuilt.

Book excerpt: One of the most thrilling and unusual missions in the American Civil War is told in detail in the account by William Pittenger, one of the participants. The mission? To disrupt rail communications in the Confederacy. And along the way...steal a locomotive.This fast-paced, well-written story is a true as the good (later) Reverend Pittenger could write it.

This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War has a secret as well as a public story. Marches and battles are open to the popular gaze; but enterprises of another class are in their very nature secret, and these are scarcely less important and often much more interesting than the former. The work of spies and scouts, the enterprises that reach beyond the lines of an army for the purpose of surprise, the councils of officers, the intrigues by means of which great results often flow from apparently insignificant causes, and all the experiences of hospitals and prisons,-these usually fill but a small place on the historian's page, though they are often of romantic interest, and not unfrequently decide the course and fate of armies. The enterprise described in these pages possesses all the unity of a drama, from the first plunge of the actors into the heart of the enemy's country, through all their adventures and changing fortunes, until the few survivors stood once more under the old flag! No single story of the war combines so many of the hidden, underground elements of the contest against rebellion as this. Disguise and secrecy, the perils of a forlorn hope, the exultation of almost miraculous success, the sufferings of prisoners, and the gloom of despair are all mingled in a varied and instructive war-picture.In telling the story all fictitious embellishments have been rejected. No pains have been spared to ascertain the exact truth, and the reader will find names, dates, and localities so fully given that it will be easy to verify the prominent features of the account.In narrating those events which fell under his own eye, the writer has waived all scruples of delicacy, and used the first personal pronoun. This is far more simple and direct, while an opposite course would have savored of affectation.This is not a revision or new edition of the little volume published by the present writer during the rebellion. DARING AND SUFFERING, like a number of similar sketches published in newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets, was a hasty narrative of personal adventure, and made no pretence of completeness.CAPTURING A LOCOMOTIVE is broader and more historic; a large amount of valuable material is now employed for the first time; and the story is approached in an entirely different manner. No paragraph of the old book is copied into the new.
