Synopsis

My Imprisonment And The First Year Of Abolition Rule At Washington (1863) is a memoir written by Rose O'Neal Greenhow, an American socialite and Confederate spy during the American Civil War. The book details Greenhow's experiences as a prisoner of war in Washington D.C. following her arrest by Union forces in 1861. It also provides an account of the first year of the abolitionist rule in Washington, D.C. after the city was taken over by Union forces. The book sheds light on the political and social climate of the time, and provides insight into the experiences of women during the Civil War. Overall, it is a fascinating historical account of a tumultuous period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Whether a faithful record of my long and humiliating imprisonment at Washington, in the hands of the enemies of my country, will prove as interesting to the public as my friends assure me it is to them, I know not. It is natural for those who have suffered captivity to exaggerate the importance and interest of their own experiences; yet I should not venture upon publishing these notes and sketches merely as a narrative of indignities heaped upon myself personally. It is hoped that the story may excite more than a simple feeling of indignation or commiseration, by exhibiting somewhat of the intolerant spirit in which the present crusade against the liberties of sovereign States was undertaken, and somewhat of the true character of that race of people who insist on compelling us by force to live with them in bonds of fellowship and union.
