Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Soldier's Story: Prison Life and Other Incidents in the War of 1861-'65 I have been requested to write some incidents, experiences and observations of prison life during the war of 1861-'65. After thirty-eight or thirty-nine years it is somewhat difficult to recall anything like all that transpired in those dark days. Some people say it is time to stop talking about that war. Now, that would be a hard thing for those who lived in those days to do: stop talking about the war. The men, women and children at home had almost as hard a time as those at the front - not quite so dangerous, yet it required courage and true patriotism to stand in their places. Furthermore, it seems necessary, in order to keep history straight, that those who lived and participated in that part of our history should occasionally be heard from, otherwise those who write so much, who live north of the Mason and Dixon's line, would make our rising generation believe what is false. So I say to all such: "Nothing in the past is dead to the man who would learn how the present came to be what it is." Much has been written and said by our Northern friends as to the suffering of the Union soldiers in Southern prisons - Andersonville, Salisbury and other places - during that war. They draw an awful picture of their poor soldiers suffering and dying in Southern prisons. In some respects this was true. To be in prison of itself was bad enough, but to be there without proper food or medicine was very bad indeed. The South did not have the means, neither the medicine, but the prisoners in our care were put on the same footing as our own poor soldiers. The question is: Who was to blame for this state of things? The Confederate authorities made proposition after proposition for exchange of prisoners, but the Government at Washington positively declined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing from Volume I, Volume II intersperses numerous soldiers’ letters with those from home. The issue of slavery from both the owners and individuals is brought forth. Did colored men really serve as Confederate soldiers? Did free black men? Union soldiers described southern women as defi ant, beautiful, crude, and pitiful. Read of women aboard blockade-runners, the fall of Wilmington, Sherman’s march, Stoneman’s western raiders, and the end of the war. Did any civilians die due to these raids? Did they idly sit by as their lives and homes were destroyed? The war did come to their doorstep during the second half of the confl ict. Both Volume I and II tell something from each of the state’s 87 counties. Perhaps you may fi nd information about your ancestor among these pages. Information from period newspapers, as well as mostly unpublished letters, tell their stories.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XX Some Interesting Facts. IN the writing of a book of this character much depends on other people. It will be discovered by the author who undertakes it that some people are proverbially slow in responding to inquiries for information, and some never reply at all. This book has suffered somewhat from both causes. To delay the making of copy till all responses are received would consign it to oblivion, at least so far as the author of this volume is concerned. It has been necessary to proceed with the work, and after being prepared for the printer it is difficult to make additions and still preserve clean copy. This chapter has been introduced to provide a place for matter delayed in arrival or forgotten in course of writing the story, and to provide an opportunity for the author to introduce such editorial remarks as could not consistently be included in the body of the history. The absence of footnotes may be noticed by readers. This is due to the author's distaste for them, as an experience of nearly twenty years in newspaper and magazine writing has taught him that the general public is averse to them. No effort has been made to study or introduce a literary style. Facts expressed tersely in the simplest terms, and plain language meet the approval of the reading public and result in a greater enjoyment of reading. Those interested in scientific investigation of special conditions pertaining to the subject will find sufficient to put them on the right track. Literary favor is the last thing sought after, and an escape from the customary newspaper or magazine style the most desired. The author desires to express his deep appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered by Sergeant Berry Benson of the First South Carolina...
