Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From Rebel Prisons: Giving an Account of Some of the Horrors of the Stockades at Andersonville, Milan and Other Prisons We were left on the field that night, subjected to the insults of the enemy, who searched us, and took what they chose of clothing, arms, &c., and all the money they could find about us, and the next morn ing taken off in wagons and ambulances to a railroad station, five miles distant, where we were placed on corn-husks along the side of the road, where we waited for transportation, remaining there until the next afternoon. During that time, some of the wounded received a little attention; and some, whose limbs were badly shattered, suffered amputation, very roughly performed. Immediately after, and before recovering from the effects of chloroform, we were packed into the cars, which then came up. These were box-cars, and about half as large as those used North; and the men were packed, sick and wound ed, forty in a car, like a drove of sheep, and were taken to Tallahassee, about three hundred miles, where we arrived in a famished condition. At every station, those who died were taken out and buried. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
