Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Sergt; C. W. Murray: A Soldier in the Army of the Potomac; And His Long Confinement at Andersonville Prison, Georgia, Also, the Starvation and Death of His Three Brothers Reader; In writing this little book, I do not intend to bring before you a work of style or language, nor a history of the war.T intend simply to present to you a short narrative of my life as a soldier in the Army of the Potomac, and while a prisoner at Andersonville. Having lost the use of both my right arm and leg, which excludes all possibility of doing any work to assist in supporting a wife and three children, I have, therefore, taken this method of raising means for their support. It is also right that you should know of the sufferings of those who fought for your country. Little do yon know, unless you have experienced it as have. The horrors of Andersonville cannot be exaggerated. We may look back among the dark ages, and even there you will not find a parallel. With them, we could say that ignorance and superstition was the cause of their brutality, and that they did not think that it was wrong, because their religion often demanded it of them. But what excuse can be offered for such conduct in the present age, where ignorance is only the exception, and not the general rule among us I There is none that can be offered. It was pure viciousness that had been engendered by the evil influences of Slavery. With these few remarks, I throw myself upon the generosity of the public, and crave its aid and assistance in supporting my little family.
