About this recording
A comprehensive four-volume history of one soldier's 15 months in Andersonville Prison during the Civil War. The book is divided into 83 chapters, each with a different event witnessed during the author's incarceration. Andersonville was a notoriously cruel Confederate prisoner camp, with many of the Union soldiers imprisoned dying due to the deplorable conditions within. All four volumes will be covered as a complete book. [Chapter 81 written by a Rev. Sheppard is omitted in this edition.] - Summary by Jeffery Smith
