A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The greater portion of the following narrative originally appeared in the columns of the Rochester Eyenino Express, in a series of twelve numbers. It was written at the request of the editors of that journal, of which Corporal Merrell had been a regular correspondent from the date of his enlistment till his release from Prison No. 1, in Kichmond comprising a period of nine months. This narrative being the only full, consecutive and authentic account of prison life in Richmond, was widely copied by the Northern press, and eagerly sought by the public. During the progress of its original publication numerous requests were made for its reproduction in an enlarged and completed form, and Corporal H. being required to rejoin his regiment, was compelled to confide the work to the care and direction of a friend, by whom it is now presented in a form convenient for preservation and reference. The incidents embodied in the narrative have at least the merit of novelty, few, if any of them, having been previously published; and it may be observed that most of them have been fully substantiated by the voluntary testimony of several of the fellow prisoners of Corporal Merrell, recently released. I ndeed, the truth of one incident, of a peculiarly romantic character and so much so as to have excited the incredulity of some readers has been publicly endorsed in a letter over the signature of a brother of the prisoner to whom it personally relates. The engraving of the Richmond Prison No. 1, Hospital No. 2, and the Confederate Guard Quarters, which appears on a preceding page, is from a drawing by Corporal Merrell, and faithfully represents, the Tobacco Warehouse in which the Union Officers, Civilians and any of the Privates were confined (vide chap, v, p. 25.
