Beschreibung:
Russell S. Bonds is an in-house lawyer at the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta and a lifelong resident of north Georgia. He was born in Atlanta and grew up in Marietta, just a few blocks from the spot where James Andrews and his men first boarded the General on the morning of April 12, 1862. He received a BS with honor from Georgia Tech and a law degree magna cum laude from the University of Georgia, where he was the executive articles editor of the Georgia Law Review. He has published several articles and reviews on Civil War topics in national publications, including "Pawn Takes Bishop: The Death of Lieutenant General Leonidas Polk" and "Lieutenant Tecumseh: Sherman's First March through Georgia, 1844." He lives in Marietta, Georgia, with his wife and three daughters.
In 1862, a group of Union volunteers commandeered the locomotive near Atlanta, resulting in the famous "Great Locomotive Chase." Here for the first time is a complete history of the entire episode and the fates of those involved.
