In April 1862 a Union spy led a group of men through the Confederate
lines to Marietta, Georgia, where they captured a railroad engine, The General.
They ran it northward toward Chattanooga, Tennessee, destroying telegraph
communications as they went. But Confederate troops in another engine, The
Texas, pursued the General and caught it after an exciting chase.
The General is located at the Kennesaw Civil War Museum.
