Description
1881 Andersonville Diary 1ed Ransom Civil WAR Indians Confederate Prison Escape
One of the most outstanding prison narratives of the American Civil War.
"Andersonville Diary" by John Ransom is a powerful and poignant firsthand account of life inside one of the most infamous Civil War prisons in American history. Ransom, a Union soldier, was captured by Confederate forces and spent over a year as a prisoner in Andersonville, Georgia. Through his diary entries, Ransom vividly describes the daily hardships and horrors that he and his fellow prisoners endured, including lice, starvation, freezing cold, killing heat, theft from other inmates, and more. He discusses his relations with Indians, specifically the Battese, a Minnesota Indian, who is imprisoned as well and helps him escape. Ransoms diary is a testament to the strength and perseverance of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable suffering and ends with a list of the Union prisoners who perished at Andersonville.
Nevins calls it, “A superior and gripping account.”
