Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yankees in Rebel Prisons I have given all the incidents of my life in Libby Prison in a former pamphlet, entitled, "Why I was not Hung." We were all moved south to Danville, Virginia. This was not a safe place to keep us, as we were too near General Grant and his army. After a stop of about ten days, we were sent by railroad to Augusta, Georgia. We were kept in the cars about twenty-four hours. It was said the citizens would not allow us to stay there for fear the Yanks would contaminate the air. We were sent on to Macon, Georgia. Here we were quartered in the State Fair Grounds. There were two old buildings on the grounds in which they put the wounded, sick and the older officers. I was placed in one corner of the larger building, on account of my wound, and I also had a bad case of diarrhoea. Soon after I was laid down a very pleasant rebel sergeant came by and I called to him. He asked me what he could do for me.

Download or read book A Yankee in Rebel Prisons written by Alva C. Roach and published by Baughman Literary Group. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating work by Lt Alva C. Roach, completed and published in the year 1865, is surely one of the most descriptive of many personal journals written during the years of America's terrible Civil War. His depictions are so detailed and compelling as to make the reader feel as though we were there with him and our forefathers during his battles and two years in Rebel prisons. Lt Roach's book, though, is uncommon in another way. He declared his work unvarnished truth, and much appears so. Yet, his words ring constantly with far more, oozing a remarkable hatred and vilification toward Americans of the South. In fact, he often refers to them sneeringly as "the chivalry." Roach often proclaims Southerners as traitors, murderers, fiends, villains, and robbers...rather than as they were, devoted Americans who dearly loved this Nation and its freedoms, for which they were the major founding force. So...here is a caution. If your heritage is of Southern origin you may find Lt. Roach's condemnation quite disconcerting, even while reveling in his powerful, eyewitness-to-history description. Today, it seems no longer that "Rebels" reside just in the "South." Americans who completely fathom and believe deeply in the original words of our Constitution, and the ideas of our Founding Fathers, (opposite the prosperity-less, murderous, devastation of big government, Communist-like, control) are found in every State, in every region, in every dialect, of America. And they seem to be speaking out again...loudly...in favor of individual freedom as so many were in the years before America's Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To pass the time and ward off boredom, prisoners of war in the American Civil War often started little, secret newspapers to entertain the inmates. One of these was the "Right Flanker," written by anonymous Confederates being held in New York's Fort Lafayette.Many more POW memoirs came out of the rebel prisons like Andersonville and Libby. So this is a rare look inside a Union prison. The inmate's observations are humorous, pithy, and decidedly "secesh."Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the most witnessed execution in US history. On the evening of July 11, 1864, six men were marched into Andersonville Prison, surrounded by a cordon of guards, the prison commandant, and a Roman Catholic priest. The six men were handed over to a small execution squad, and while more than 26,000 Union prisoners looked on, the six were executed by hanging. The six, part of a larger group known as the Raiders, were killed, not by their Rebel enemies but by their fellow prisoners, for the crimes of robbing and assaulting their own comrades. Who were these six men? Were they really guilty of the crimes they were accused of? Were they really, as some prisoners alleged, murderers? What role did their Confederate captors play in their trial and execution? What brought about their downfall? Relying on military records, diaries, memoirs written within five years of the prison closing, and the recently discovered trial transcript, author Gary Morgan has discovered a version of events that is markedly different from the version told in later day “memoirs” and repeated in the history books. Here, for the first time in a century and a half, is the real story of the Andersonville Raiders.

Download or read book Yankee Sailors in British Gaols written by Sheldon Samuel Cohen and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Yankee Sailors in British Gaols offers the first comprehensive account of American servicemen detained within the confines of Mill and Forton prisons, the principal land-based detention centers in Britain during the American Revolution. Forton and Mill during the course of the War of Independence held approximately 3,000 American prisoners, almost all of them naval personnel. In a few cases, these American prisoners were incarcerated for more than four years, a longer recorded period of incarceration in overseas prisons than in any United States war prior to Vietnam. Professor Cohen's examination of wide-ranging and widely scattered primary and secondary sources provides an extraordinarily detailed picture of life within the closed society of each prison, as well as insight into the various ways in which Britons and Americans outside the prisons provided legal and extralegal help to the rebel detainees."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
