Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Fourteen Months In Southern Prisons"" is a firsthand account of the experiences of Union soldier Henry M. Davidson during his fourteen-month imprisonment in Confederate military prisons during the American Civil War. Davidson describes the harsh conditions, mistreatment, and brutality that he and other Federal prisoners endured at the hands of their captors. He details the poor food, inadequate shelter, and lack of medical care that led to the deaths of many of his fellow prisoners. Davidson also provides insight into the psychological toll of imprisonment, including the despair and hopelessness that many prisoners felt. This book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the realities of prisoner-of-war camps during the Civil War and the suffering endured by those who were held captive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
