This book offers a gripping first-hand account of a Union soldier's experiences during the American Civil War, specifically focusing on his harrowing journey as a prisoner of war. The author's narrative begins with his enlistment and early days of training, quickly plunging into the chaos and brutality of major battles like Wapping Heights, Kelly's Ford, and Brandy Station. As the story unfolds, the reader is drawn into the desperate struggle for survival within the infamous Confederate prison camps of Libby and Andersonville. The author's vivid descriptions paint a stark picture of the deplorable conditions, starvation, disease, and the psychological toll of captivity. He recounts the dehumanizing treatment endured at the hands of Confederate guards, highlighting figures like Captain Wirz, while also acknowledging rare acts of compassion from unexpected sources. Through his personal story, the author explores themes of duty, resilience, and the enduring human spirit amidst unimaginable adversity.
