THE STORY OF THE "GENERAL"
In the National Cemetery are buried James
J. Andrews and his companions, who captured
an Engine at Big Shanty on the Western &
Atlantic Railway in an attempt to burn bridges
and cut the Confederate Army from its base of
supplies. They were overtaken; eight were ex-
ecuted as spies, six were paroled and eight es.
caped from prison. The famous engine "Gen.
eral," which was captured, is kept as a Memorial
in the Union Station at Chattanooga. A tablet
tells the story of the raid.
