Maryland (Maryland, United States) (search for this): chapter 5
Doc. 5. letter from Gov. Thomas of Md. Ex-Governor Thomas, of Maryland, gives the following account of the attempt of the Maryland rebels upon his life: Cumberland, August 24, 1861. Dear sir: As an incident of to-day may be misrepresented, I will communicate to you the precise facts of the case. I left here this morning at half-past 6, for my home, in the railroad train. Ten miles from this place the cowcatcher of the engine ran against a pile of eight railroad ties, which had Maryland, gives the following account of the attempt of the Maryland rebels upon his life: Cumberland, August 24, 1861. Dear sir: As an incident of to-day may be misrepresented, I will communicate to you the precise facts of the case. I left here this morning at half-past 6, for my home, in the railroad train. Ten miles from this place the cowcatcher of the engine ran against a pile of eight railroad ties, which had been carefully placed across the track. Fortunately six of the ties were scattered right and left of the road, and the train continued to run for about five hundred yards, when it was stopped by the resistance to its progress produced by the two remaining ties, which were so situated that one end rested on the engine and the other ploughed along the road. As soon as the cars halted, the engineer and fireman leaped off, and soon removed the two ties, while the baggage-master was out to see what

my directions, and as soon as the train began to move we were fired upon by a crowd of more than one hundred armed men, who had appeared upon the road out of the bushes near the spot where the ties had been placed on the road. We all escaped uninjured, although twenty or thirty shots were fired before we were out of reach. There were no persons on the train as passengers, but an old black man, two aged white men, and myself. This whole nefarious affair was, I have no doubt, contrived against my liberty, if not my life, by spies resident in this place, who notified their allies in Virginia that I was to pass on the railroad this morning. And nothing saved me but that coolness and presence of mind which prompted me, under Providence, to see and guard against the danger prompt as electricity. Please hurry on the arming of our volunteers in Frederick, as I am doing here, that we may be ready for spies within and traitors without our State. Yours, respectfully, Francis Thomas.
