In the waning days of the Civil War, McNeill's Rangers launched a daring raid against the Union Army in the hopes of reinvigorating the Confederacy. The 40 Rangers snuck into Cumberland, Maryland, which was occupied by 8,000 Union soldiers. Their mission was to kidnap two Union generals and take them to Richmond as prisoners.
