Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adventures of an Escaped Union Prisoner: From Andersonville The Annual Encampment at San Francisco, Cal., of the Grand Army of the Republic has suggested to me writing the following account of my adventures on my escape from Andersonville Prison. I do so in the belief that it will prove of interest, not only to those, who like myself - still living - were so unfortunate as to have been cooped up in that horrible den, but also to many of the survivors of our great Civil War, now visiting San Francisco to celebrate the Annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. - Thomas H. Howe. Although the ins and outs of Andersonville Prison have been fully described at different times, a few words of repetition here will not be out of place. The prison and grounds, with stockade, occupied twenty-five acres, two hills with a six-acre bottom intervening, through which streaked a sandy stream, in average five feet in width and five inches in depth; this stream constituted our water supply. The stockade was square logs twenty feet high, with a dead line twenty feet inside, composed of slats, bordering upon its surroundings. The prisoners were formed into messes of ninety men each, then into detachments composed of three messes or two hundred and seventy men.
