Synopsis

An Account of the Escape of Six Federal Soldiers from Prison at Danville, Va. by W. H. Newlin is a firsthand narrative detailing the daring escape of Union soldiers from a Confederate prison during the American Civil War. The book recounts the harsh conditions inside the Danville prison, where Union captives endured deprivation, illness, and mistreatment. Newlin vividly describes the prisoners' determination to break free, the planning that went into their escape, and the perils they faced once outside. After successfully fleeing the prison, the six soldiers embarked on a treacherous journey through enemy territory, relying on their wits, endurance, and occasional assistance from Union sympathizers. Facing hunger, exhaustion, and the constant threat of capture, they navigated the Southern landscape in a desperate bid for freedom. Newlin’s account provides not only an exciting tale of survival but also valuable insight into the experiences of prisoners of war during the Civil War, highlighting the resilience and bravery of those who risked everything to regain their freedom.
