ii Killing book of the great civil war No
single war story wildly presents so many
of the hidden, underground elements of the
struggle against rebellion as this. From be-
ginning to end the readers attention nevef
wearies and he rises from the perusal feeling
almost as if he had again lived through those
terrible days. The adventures traversed tho
Confederacy in all directions; some persisted
as spies all suffered terribly, and the wonder
is that any escaped alive.
Three events narrated in the story of this
expedition are unparalleled either in ancient
or modern warfare. No writer of romance
would dare to invent the capture of crowded
railroad train in the midst of an enemy's
camp by band of twenty unarmed soldiers

HIS STORY Is A WAR CLASSIC. Will
son was one of the most daring spirits
engaged upon the periious raid which has
been described in another book, entitled
g Capturing Locomotive" Wilson's story,
however, does not cover the same field as that
written by his comrade, Pittenger. The
charm and principal part of his narrative
consists in his account of his escape from
prison in company with a companion with
whom he made his way southwark hundreds
Of miles to the Gulf of Mexico
The picture he gives of life within the
rebel lines, his adventures in his voyage
down the river in an old boat, has all that
wonderful charm which invests tales of dar-
