Twelve Months in Andersonville: On the March in the Battle in the Rebel Prison Pens, and at Last in God's Country
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 pro duction. There has been no attempt at ostentatious display of learning or boastful show of knowledge, but the volume is sim ply 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 Ex press, 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.

Riveting personal account from a prisoner
I was interested as I have an ancestor from Illinois infantry who was taken prisoner at the Battle of Chickamauga. He was there for a year but succumbed to his death from severe Scurvy and all that disease entails. I had read John Ransom's diary, but found this much more detailed and as described, very graphic.

Outstanding eye witness account of the horrors of time spent in the Rebel Hellhole called Andersonville. How the author was able to survive a year there is incredible with scant food or any type of supplies including sufficient clothing.
