I've got to confess: Every time I think of this event, my mind goes immediately to the movie I saw as a boy. I keep hoping that Fess Parker will get away the next time I see it. Does anyone else do that?
I didn't think I'd be the only one. I get the same feeling every time I watch The Great Escape--I just know Steve McQueen will jump that second fence THIS time!
I finally saw that one about a year ago. It's really pretty good!I know the Buster Keaton film. You have to be literate to truly understand ( ).

I want to thank everyone for a great thread. I replied earlier to a differant thread about the Andrews Raid and was wondering how Fess Parker (Texan) worked his Southern accent into the role.My traveling days are more than likely behind me and I'll probably never get to see these locomotives/monuments in real person as they are many miles from Texas. The pictures will have to suffice. Once again , Thank y'all.
Andrew’s hanging spot is fairly well established, but his burial spot is still open to conjecture. That said, the hanging spot for the raiders is in a back yard about 2 blocks South from Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta.I don't remember the ending of that Fess Parker film , did they depict his character being hanged in Atlanta or just mention it?I
have read that Andrew's was to be married in the very June that he was hanged. Was that mentioned?
