BATTLE FIELD

AND

PRISON PEN,

OR

Through the War, and Thrice a Prisoner

IN

REBEL DUNGEONS.

A graphic recital of personal experiences throughout the whole period of
the late War for the Union-during which the author was actively
engaged in 25 Battles and Skirmishes, was three times taken
prisoner of war, and incarcerated in the notorious rebel

dungeons, Libby, Pemberton, Andersonville, Savan-

nah, and others. An inside view of those dens

of death, atrocities practiced, etc., etc.; in fact,

a recital of possibly as varied and thrill-

ing experiences as were known dur-

ing all the wild vicissitudes of
that terrible four years of
internecine strife.
