THE GENERAL.:
On April 12th 1862 James J Andrews and a band of Union spies stole the locomotive "The General" from under the watchful eyes of guards at nearby camp Mc.Donald while all passengers and crew were eating their breakfast at the Lacy Hotel.This famous locomotive can be seen at the Southern Museum of The Civil War in Kennesaw Georgia.
Hello Dennis,
ReplyDeleteI am referred by Fiona Wong from Malaysia and I am also a postcrosser plus a big fan of train! It is so nice to meet you and read your postcard blog (I have my blog too, but I update once a month and I used to write in Chinese).
I have some train postcards that I got from my previous train trips. Would you like to swap? If yes, please let me know your postal address :) We may share with each others about trains and postcrossing too.
You may contact me at phoebewai54@gmail.com . Looking forward to your reply!
