[Natalie Claire · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was an interesting read, but I found it very hard to get through. Written and published during the Civil War, it reads almost like a piece of Northern propaganda. I almost wonder if anything was exaggerated. The escape was exciting, but I wasn't crazy about the writing style.

[Robert Palmer · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is one of many first-hand accounts I have read by southerners who opposed slavery, supported the Union, and opposed secession at the outset of the Civil War.
