This dramatic narrative by a Union Officer chronicles his harrowing experiences as a prisoner of war during the Civil War. Originally captured while on a reconnaissance mission in 1864, the author spent months imprisoned in various Southern prison camps, witnessing the horrors of starvation, overcrowding, and disease. Faced with the prospect of a slow and agonizing death, he and his fellow prisoners devised a daring escape plan. However, their efforts were thwarted by a traitor, and the author and his comrades were subjected to horrific reprisals. Despite the grim conditions and the betrayal, their indomitable spirit remained unbroken, and the author's vivid account of their struggle for survival serves as a testament to the resilience of the human soul in the face of adversity.
