After abandoning THE GENERAL, Wilson and fellow raider Mark Wood were captured just 7 miles from the Federal lines at Stevenson, AL. They later escaped and floated down the Chattahoochee River to the Gulf where they were rescued by a ship of the Federal blockade. In post-war years, Alfred Wilson wrote “Adventures of Alf Wilson – A Thrilling Episode of the Dark Days of the Rebellion”. In the 1950s Disney Studios released the movie “The Great Locomotive Chase” to herald the exploits of Andrews Raiders.
