48pp. 8vo. First edition. First edition. 48pp. 8vo. Lieutenant John J. Dunkle's sharply-worded account of his time spent in the Union prison on Morris Island, South Carolina, as part of the "Immortal Six Hundred," a group of Confederate officers held towards the end of the war (1864-65). Written in part to counter accounts of the sufferings of Union POWs in Confederate prisons, Nevins describes it as "an early example of Southern-style prison propaganda; basically a diatribe against Union officers and Negro guards." Writing as the improbably-named Fritz Fuzzlebug, Dunkle begins with a brief account of the events leading up to their capture and imprisonment at Fort Delaware, and the plan to transfer them to the recently Union-occupied Morris Island. Dunkle includes a list of all six hundred Confederate officers by state, including their name, rank, place of capture, and their hometown. He then describes the brutal steamship voyage, and the extreme privation and abuse they suffered once they reached Morris Island. Dunkle estimates that at least a third of the six hundred died from disease and/or abuse while in custody, though the actual number was closer to fifty.
