Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twelve Months in Andersonville: On the March in the Battle in the Rebel Prison Pens, and at Last in God´s Country This volume is presented to the public by its author with a thorough appreciation of its imperfections as a literary production. There has been no attempt at ostentatious display of learning or boastful show of knowledge, but the volume is simply the plain story of a private soldier who suffered a year in the rebel prison pens of the Southern Confederacy. Originally the sketches appeared in our village paper, the Andrews Express, under the title of "Army Life." The partial judgment of friends and neighbors has encouraged us to revise and re-publish them in book form. In this, the story of his personal experience, the author has written only the truth. Horrible as was the condition of Union prisoners - terribly as they suffered - the dreadful reality can be but feebly portrayed on paper. The grizzled veteran who wakens from his sleep, twenty years after, with the moans of starving and dying comrades ringing in his ears, whose eyes yet retain the mental picture of the utter wretchedness, hopelessness and misery of Andersonville - he alone can realize the horror upon horror of a year´s confinement in the rebel military prisons of the South. God grant that such suffering as fell to the lot of my brave comrades who died, or living, suffered the tortures of death in rebel prison pens, may never again be known in our common country.
