In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good+. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, red cloth boards innately decorated on front and spine. The exterior shows scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear and the front board has a spot at the bottom center which is possibly paint. The internal binding of the text pages is good…except for some scattered pulling but the rear hinge has a thin crack. There are no signatures or bookplates, no library markings, no handwriting found. Some pages do have smudges and spots/stains/foxing, mainly in the beginning of the book areas. Page 354 has a darkened rectangle along with a chip of paper missing at the bottom (outside of the text area). The reason for the mark is because there was an old advertisement from the Jersey Cereal Food Company, of Cereal PA. This ephemera stays with the book (see pictures) and has been placed in a glassine envelope so it no longer reacts with the pages.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - William Pittenger served as a Union Army soldier during the Civil War. As part of his service, he took part in Andrews' Raid, also known as the Great Locomotive Chase. In this famous raid, Union soldiers took over a train in northern Georgia, heading towards Chattanooga, Tennessee. The goal w…as to destroy the Western and Atlantic Railroad. To ensure as much damage as possible was done, the telegraph lines were cut so Confederate forces up the line could not be notified. Just 18 miles south of Chattanooga the train ran out of fuel. Pittenger, along with other raiders, fled. This work tells the intense story of the Great Locomotive Chase as it was led by a civilian, James J. Andrews. Pittenger went on to become one of the first recipients of the Medal of Honor. Later he became a professor, then a pastor. He also wrote other books: Oratory, Sacred and Secular (1881); and Extempore Speech (1882).
