Customer Reviews

Short, but great

This book concerns the escape of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan from his prison cell in Columbus, Ohio. Easily read by the novice reader, yet deep enough for a traind historian, this book will tell you most of what there is to know about how Morgan and his aide, Thomas Hines, escaped recaptured. It even relates a different version of the tale, and why it is not likely to be the correct interpretation. If you like the Civl War, you should buy this book. It's only fault was that it could have used more pages to tell even more of this incredible story.
