Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Months in Libby: And the Campaign Against Atlanta
Those with whom I have sat around the camp-fire, shared the weariness of the march, and the dangers of the battle, will like g'rpiy story none the less for being plainly told; and my companions in Libby, and the partners of my flight, will think of other matters than brill iant sentences and round periods, as they read these pages. I claim no leadership in the eu terprise of which I write - the time has not yet come to give honor to whom honor is due; the reason of my silence in this respect will ap pear in the course of my narrative.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a firsthand account of a Union soldier's experience during the American Civil War, focusing on his harrowing four months spent as a prisoner of war in Libby Prison, Richmond. The author, a captain in the 6th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, details the horrors of captivity, from the inadequate rations and stifling conditions to the constant threat of death and the relentless desire for freedom. The narrative weaves together gripping descriptions of battles like Shiloh and Stone River, offering insights into the author's own experiences as a young soldier confronting the brutality of war. His account of the meticulous planning and execution of his daring escape from Libby Prison, undertaken with a small group of fellow prisoners, places the reader directly within the claustrophobic confines of the infamous prison and the desperate lengths to which these men would go for their freedom.
