Article merging

The information in the following three articles needs to be distributed among the articles properly. I'd do it, but somebody more familiar with the information could do a much better job.

Keep them separate, please, although you are correct that there is information that is redundant. Still, all three are distinct entities and should remain so. Thanks! Scott Mingus 17:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew's Raid merged

The Andrew's Raid article has been merged into this article. --Xander the Potato Vanquisher 13:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - the other article, while chock full of information, was not very encyclopedic in its approach. Scott Mingus 03:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Legal status

I've deleted a lot of text discussing in great detail the legal situation with no references or links whatsoever, quoting the Laws of Nations and Laws of War as if they were a body of known fact. If anyone wants to see it it's here. Pol098 (talk) 19:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Horses

There’s discussion of men pursuing on foot and explaining why, with low locomotive speeds on hills and delays to stop for sabotage or to wait for trains coming the other way, foot pursuit of a train was possible. However, one thing that should be mentioned, and isn’t, is why the pursuers didn’t use horses, which would have been faster than walking, and would have been able to continue where locomotives were blocked by track damage. 47.139.46.124 (talk) 12:53, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an exact citation of this, but my sense from Russell S. Bond's Stealing the General is that the foot chase was spontaneous - the engineer and conductor saw the train departing and ran after it. --Badger151 (talk) 20:49, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
