In Response To: Re: Centralia document ()

Tom,

The article has little to say about what happened at the train in Centralia other than specifically what took place with Sergeant Goodman. Nothing about anybody else at the train. There is one sentence that may relate which is the second sentence of the article: "Mr. Goodman was captured at Centralia at the time of the inhuman butchery there, he being one on the train who was reported killed by the murderers."

Goodman recounted what he witnessed at the fight in the fields three or four miles away that afternoon in some detail. The rest of the article relates about what Goodman saw and experienced while riding as a prisoner of the guerrillas over the next several days until Goodman was able to escape in early October, about 6 October I calculated.

If you still want access to this article, email me at Mapmaker3@aol.com, and don't delay. I will be "out of pocket" for a few days coming up soon. Otherwise, this will have to wait a few days.
