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 executed as
spies, six were paroled and eight escaped from
prison. The famous engine "General” which
was captured, is kept as a Memorial in the Union
Station at Chattanooga. A tablet tells the story
of the raid.
