A Prisoner Of War In Virginia 1864 5 Reprinted With Additions From The Report Of An Address December 7 1910 With Illustrations

Excerpt from A Prisoner of War in Virginia, 1864-5 The following record of my sojourn in the winter of 1864-65 in Libby and in Danville prisons was prepared under the instructions of the Commander of the New York Commandery of the Loyal Legion for publication in the volume of Reports of the Commandery. Forty-eight years have elapsed since the winter here described, and I cannot undertake to say that my memory can be trusted for all of the details or incidents. I have no doubt that these will be open to correction on the part of comrades who may have shared the experiences of those strenuous months. I can only say that the record has been set down in good faith, and may be accepted as possessing such value as belongs to any individual experience recalled after a long interval of years.
