CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: One of the most famous Union narratives of prison life. The author, of the 16th Conn Inf., spares little in describing the horrid conditions of captivity. This narrative, as most narratives of captivity in most modern conflicts, are fascinating, often times sad, and more often exhilarating for the triumph of the human spirit over the cruelty of prison with the dreams of freedom. REFERENCE: Dornbusch Conn 70; Nevins I, 195: "A sergeant's journal of captivity, reworked by the editor; very bitter over deliberate cruelty to prisoners, but also gives facts tending to show the opposite.".
