The Soldier’s Story of His Captivity at Andersonville, Belle Isle, and Other Rebel Prisons (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from The Soldier's Story of His Captivity at Andersonville, Belle Isle, and Other Rebel Prisons
Ii the cause for which so many sacrifices were made - which so many died in prison to perpetuate - was worth suffering for, are not the scenes through which they passed worthy of commemoration and remembrance in the hearts of their fellow-countrymen? Justice to the living who suffered, impartial history, and the martyred dead, demand a full, unexaggerated record by a survivor of these horrors. For this purpose this book, through agonizing memories, at last has been finished. With the author it has been rather a work of solemn duty than of pleasure. He simply states facts, and depicts those scenes of prison life best fitted to convey.
