  • Medal of Honor Narrative Andrews Raiders
    Medal of Honor: Andrews’ Raiders One of the 19 of 22 men (including 2 civilians) who, by direction of Gen. Mitchell (or Buell) penetrated nearly 200 miles south into enemy territory and captured a railroad train at Big Shanty, Ga., in an attempt to destroy the bridges and tracks between Chattanooga and Atlanta. This is an example of the citation in which the Medal of Honor was awarded to nineteen of the twenty-four participants in the Great Locomotive Chase, a daring military mission breaching Confederate lines. Twenty-two of the men were military and known in history as “Andrews’ Raiders.” Six of the raiders were the very first to receive the Medal of Honor on March 25, 1863. The other thirteen men received the medal later for the same action. Seven raiders received their honor posthumously, some in September 1863 and others after the war. In spring 1862, Confederate forces began the Heartland Offensive by splitting into small groups in an attempt to spread the Union opposition thin. A division from the Army of the Ohio led by Brigadier General Ormsby Mitchel was ordered to Huntsville, Alabama, to repair railroads. In an effort to capture and control railroads deep into Georgia, black-market trader James J. Andrews Marion Ross received the medal developed a plan to conduct a small group of soldiers posthumously, c.1861. Ancestry.com. behind enemy lines. The men were to meet in Georgia, purchase tickets on a train to Chattanooga, overtake the train and destroy telegraph lines, bridges, and railroad track along the return trip north.

Plans call for the steam engine, a key part of the Cyclorama attraction at Grant Park for nine decades, to be delivered to the History Center’s Buckhead campus on May 3, 2017, from the N.C. Transportation Museum, where it has been undergoing an extensive restoration since late 2015. The locomotive is expected to open to the public in fall 2017, inside a specially designed glass-fronted hallway-gallery connected to the new Lloyd and Mary Ann Whitaker Cyclorama Building. The 2,000-square-foot gallery, accessed through the Atlanta History Museum’s Fentener van Vlissingen Family Wing (off the Allen Atrium), will be completed around the Texas following its return from North Carolina. The Texas will be delivered on a lowboy tractor trailer, with its tender arriving on a flatbed tractor trailer. They will be lifted off of the trucks by a 110-ton crane, and placed on the same tracks that held them since 1927 at Grant Park. The tracks themselves are historic, believed to date to 1880s Atlanta, when the railroad was helping build the city into the commercial capital it is today.

  • Andrews' Raiders (The Great Locomotive Chase)
    Andrews’ Raiders (The Great Locomotive Chase) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction On April 12, 1862, Union soldiers executed a raid in Big Shanty, Georgia (now Kennesaw) to steal a locomotive and ride it back north, cutting telegraph wires and disrupting supply transportation. James J. Andrews, a civilian scout and spy, lead 22 troops from Ohio regiments into enemy territory, commandeered a Confederate locomotive, The General, and drove it back north toward Chattanooga, Tennessee. The raid was unsuccessful, as the Confederates eventually caught up with the raiders. Seven of the raiders were hanged as war criminals, including Andrews; some made their escape; and the rest were eventually exchanged and sent home. As a result of this raid, the first Medals of Honor were awarded to the brave men who attempted this daring incursion. Andrews did not receive the Medal of Honor, as he was a civilian and not eligible. Important Dates . April 12, 1862: Union soldiers steal The General and race back toward Chattanooga, Tennessee. April 24, 1862: All of the participants of the raid had been captured and were awaiting trial. June 7, 1862: James J. Andrews is hanged after being found guilty of being a spy. June 18, 1862: Seven other soldiers were hanged in Atlanta after being convicted as spies. March 17, 1863: The six remaining prisoners of war (eight prisoners had already made their escape) are exchanged for Confederate prisoners. March 25, 1863: Jacob Parrott, a private during the raid, is the first recipient of the Medal of Honor. May 30, 1891: A monument is unveiled in the Chattanooga National Cemetery commemorating the raid.

Smith Arioso J. S. Bach, arr. Jacob de Haan His Honor Henry Fillmore Based entirely on a two-note motif (minor 3rd), Reverberations explores the concept of sound as it echoes throughout the ensemble. The piece opens and closes with the same two pitches, which appear throughout the work, while timbres and harmonies constantly change and evolve. While many references to minimalism do exist, the music does not strictly adhere to that style. This motif persists in reverberating throughout the ensemble. The Great Locomotive Chase is inspired by a military raid of the same name, also known as Andrews’ Raid, that occurred April 12, 1862, in northern Georgia during the American Civil War. Volunteers from the Union Army stole a train to disrupt the vital Western & Atlantic Railroad (W&A), which ran from Atlanta, Georgia, to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
