1865 Confederate 1st/1st Rebel Prisons TORTURE Andersonville CIVIL WAR Union POW
“Life and Death in Rebel Prisons” by Sergeant-Major Robert H. Kellogg is a deeply moving firsthand account of the appalling conditions experienced by Union soldiers captured during the American Civil War. Authored by a former prisoner of war, this book documents the horrifying and inhumane treatment faced by captive soldiers, predominantly in Andersonville, Georgia, and Florence, South Carolina. Kellogg delves into the daily life within these camps, revealing an existence marred by deprivation, disease, and death. The book also features remarkable plans of escape and recounts stories of resilience and camaraderie amongst the prisoners. The story is not just a narrative, but a raw and harrowing testament of endurance amid extreme adversity. The book is also enriched by twelve full-page engravings, providing a stark visual insight into the grim reality of these prisons. By his willingness to relive the horrible details of what he and other soldiers endured, Kellogg provides an essential historical record, shedding light on a grim and often overlooked chapter of the Civil War.
According to Nevins,
“A sergeants journal of captivity, reworked by the editor; very bitter over deliberate cruelty to prisoners, but also gives facts tending to show the opposite.”
