Andrews raid reaches the heart of the Confederacy
A Union spy, J J Andrews, proposed to Buell in March 1862 to strike Confederate rail lines south of Nashville with 24 to 30 volunteers. The plan aimed to cross marshal routes through the Cumberland range to stations inside Confederate lines. Andrews and his men dressed as civilians, carried Confederate money, and hoped to reach watches along the lines, while Andrews had ties to Kentucky wife Elizabeth Layton.
