Chase for Betsy Baggs Ends as Buggy Splinters
Corporal Ratigan guards a telegraph line near Rossville and pursues Betsy Baggs, a noted Confederate spy, through darkness. The chase leads toward Chickamauga Creek, through sentry lines, and into a sleeping Union camp before the buggy shatters at the fork, leaving Baggs to decide her fate in the dawn.
