Synopsis
Prisoner of War: The Confederate Perspective Inside Two Federal Pens Revealing, firsthand accounts from A. M. Keiley, this memoir blends the author’s prison experiences with wartime reminiscences and anecdotes about Southern generals. Read as a plainspoken, unvarnished look at life behind federal bars and the broader story of the Civil War as seen from the Confederate side.
This edition draws from diary-like entries and Preface reflections written during captivity, offering a direct voice on daily prison life, the challenges of confinement, and moments of humor and hardship that accompany endurance. It presents a unique historical viewpoint grounded in personal experience, not polished history texts.
- A candid, contemporaneous account of life in two Federal pens.
- Interspersed reminiscences from the late war and anecdotes about Southern generals.
- Observations on prison routines, supplies, guards, and daily routines that shaped prisoner life.
- A gateway to understanding how Confederates saw the war, imprisonment, and the road to reconciliation.
Ideal for readers of Civil War history who want a personal, on-the-ground perspective from the Confederate side and an eyewitness view of wartime captivity.

The narrative unfolds through the author's personal reflections on his capture during a skirmish outside Petersburg, Virginia, in June 1864.

Butler, who is described as a ruthless and rapacious figure. The author recounts his experiences within the confines of various Federal prison camps, delving into the challenges of survival, the brutality of some guards, and the attempts at escape. The book explores the moral complexities of the war, particularly the treatment of prisoners, the exchange of soldiers, and the contentious issue of slavery.
