Item description from seller

BOOK DESCRIPTION: 12 mo, 60 pgs. Original green cloth with gilt decoration and title on front cover; with beveled boards. Presentation from author on front preliminary page: "Gen. J. L. Otis, with the affectionate regards of his friend and chaplain, H. Clay Trumbull, Hartford, Ct, Feb. 24, 1869" . CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Light rubbing to corners and spine ends; gilt on cover bright. Interior pages are age toned, else clean; front hinge cracked but holding. With clear mylar wrapper. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Sergeant Henry H. Manning's life as a soldier, including his experiences as a scout for the Army of the James is here described by Chaplain Henry Trumbull of the 10th Conn. Infantry. Manning volunteered to act as a scout against Confederate positions during the campaign against Petersburg. Captured, he was held as a prisoner of war for several months before making a final escape. Initially held in Petersburg, he was eventually taken to Andersonville. He attempted multiple escapes, finally making it to Union lines in the spring of 1865. The book provides a detailed account of his time in captivity and the conditions he faced while being held by the enemy. The author, Henry Clay Trumbull, was a Union Army chaplain during the Civil War and knew Manning personally. He draws on his own experiences and conversations with Manning to provide a personal account of his life and service. The presentation is to Gen. James Lord Otis; he served during the Civil War as Colonel and commander of the 10th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. He was brevetted Brigadier General, US Volunteers on March 13, 1865, for "gallantry at the crossing of James River, Va., June 20, 1864, and at the battle of Flusser's Mill and Deep Run, Va." Very nice copy with a good association from the author to his regimental commander. REFERENCES: DORN MA 263; NEVINS I pg 170: "A tribute to a Massachusetts soldier who succumbed to the ordeal of Andersonville.".
