OHP Radio - Henry Kurtz - Great Locomotive Chase

Today on Our History Project our guest will be Henry Kurtz, who is the grandson of the late Historian Wilbur Kurtz. We discuss his book “The Runaway Train” which is about Andrews Raid or the commonly referred to name Great Locomotive Chase. However you say it, it is a great story in our history. What makes this book unique in its own rights is that Wilbur Kurtz married into the Fuller Family. Captain Fuller was a part of this chase and historic event. Being the Historian that Wilbur Kurtz was all the details and accounts was gotten first hand and these stories have been passed down through the family. Through Wilbur’s interviews, notes, manuscripts, writings and research this is a close to hearing the story firsthand.
