Prison Life in Dixie

The author describes his harrowing capture and imprisonment by the Rebels at Sumter Prison a.k.a. “Andersonville Prison Pen”. Renowned as one of the worst prisons of the Civil War, the Andersonville pen spread over only 11 acres, with a 12-foot wall surrounding over 33,000 Union soldiers. The writer endeavors to furnish such descriptions and incidents that give the reader a true picture of Rebel prisons and the means and methods of either surviving or dying in them.
