Daredevils of the Confederate Army: The Story of the St. Albans Raiders is a historical non-fiction book written by Oscar A. Kinchen. The book tells the true story of a group of Confederate soldiers who, in 1864, launched a daring raid on the Union town of St. Albans, Vermont. The raiders, led by Captain Bennett Young, disguised themselves as civilians and infiltrated the town, robbing banks and setting fire to buildings before making their escape back to Canada. Kinchen's book provides a detailed account of the raid and its aftermath, including the trial of the raiders and the diplomatic fallout between the United States and Canada. The author also explores the motivations behind the raid, the personalities of the raiders, and the broader context of the Civil War. Daredevils of the Confederate Army is a well-researched and engaging account of a little-known episode in American history. It will appeal to Civil War enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone interested in stories of adventure and daring.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
