Captain Lacy and the War Time Mail Encounter
Captain Lacy recalls a Missouri rail journey during the Civil War era when bushwhackers halted a Hannibal and St. Joseph mail train. He surfaces from the gang by hiding with a woman and her infant, striking a daring ruse to avoid capture amid gunfire and threats. The tale links his secret service past with a dramatic encounter and a dreamlike warning.
