Description

1882 Horrors of Civil War Prison Union Prisoner POW Illustrated John Urban

John W Urban was an American soldier who was captured and imprisoned three times. He was held at Belle Island, Libby Prison, most notably at Andersonville. He composed his historical account of the American Civil War through the lens of describing the horrors of being in prison.

“the ravings, prayers, and curses of men added much to the horrors of the prison…Some of the poor wretches imagined themselves animals and moved around on their hands and knees hunting for something to eat. Some of them gathered the undigested beans lying around on the ground, and ate them!” (Urban, Battlefield)

This first edition book features full-page illustrations depicting battle scenes from the Civil War.
