Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from McLean: A Romance of the War A Freight train laden in part with federal prisoners, pulled out of Salisbury at two o´clock on the morning of October -, 1864. Its destination was Richmond. A cold, drizzling rain had set in during the afternoon of the preceding day, and still continued. For two or three hours after starting the darkness was intense, but now for the first time since the journey began the open fields and cultivated farms could, by careful observation, be distinguished from the darker lines of the forest. While crossing a level, sandy tract two of the prisoners sprang forward, threw up the crossed bayonets of the guards, and leaped from the train. They had scarcely struck the ground when the sharp reports of two muskets were heard, succeded by shots from a dozen others.
