On April 12, 1862, one of the most daring exploits of the Civil War occurred: the theft of the Confederate supply train called The General.  What followed became one of the most dramatic events of the war. Robert W. Smith has captured that excitement and set it to music that will thrill your audience and inspire your players! The orchestra is so expertly used that the listeners can easily imagine the events as they hear train whistles, the clang of bells and the frenzied chugging of overworked engines down to the desperate last gasps!
