In the spring of 1863; Union colonel Abel D. Streight sought to raid and destroy parts of the vital span of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in north Georgia with his mule-riding infantry brigade. Determined to thwart the potentially deadly attack; Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest fervently pursued Streight�s forces. With the help of unlikely ally fifteen-year-old Emma Sansom of Gadson; Alabama; Forrest falsely convinced Streight he was vastly outnumbered; foiled the raid and forced Streight�s surrender. Brandon H. Beck details Streight�s dubious plan and the exciting story of a running battle between hunter and quarry that colors history from the hills of northeast Mississippi to the heart of Georgia.
