Throwback Thursday: The Great Locomotive Chase

Throwback Thursday:  Today in History, 1862, in Kennesaw, in front of the Lacy Hotel, Yankee spy James Andrew and his Raiders stole THE GENERAL Locomotive, and headed up the tracks for Chattanooga, saying "I think I can, I think I can!" They thought wrong.   

The day before Andrews' Raiders stayed in the Fletcher Hotel, by the tracks, now The Kennesaw House, which houses The Marietta Museum of 
History.

Disney made a movie about it and starred Fess Parker.

Look!  There is James Andrews now in his hotel room in Marietta, looking out the window at the GENERAL Locomotive  parked below (or maybe a Marietta History Museum depiction of it_.
