No torn, loose or missing pages. This is a vivid, graphic account of the brutal punishments and squalid, inhuman conditions suffered by Union prisoners at the hands of their Confederate jailers. The author contends that the miseries he and other prisoners suffered were part of an orchestrated Confederate plan to permanently break them so that they would never be able to return to battle. Captain Willard Glazier of the New York Volunteer Cavalry was 22 years old when his horse was shot out from under him at New Baltimore and he was captured by Rebel forces.

From the day he was taken prisoner, Glazier kept a secret journal to record the daily details of his incarceration a manuscript that was later smuggled out of prison and carried North, and which is now reproduced and preserved in this book. Glazier fought for survival and freedom at every step of his captivity. According to his obituary, printed in the New York Times in 1905. While in Libby Prison Glazier assisted in the famous tunnel scheme but was unable to escape.

Transferred to Columbia, he made his escape on November 26, 1864, but was captured by a Confederate outpost on Dec. 15, escaped again on the 16th, was retaken on the same day by a company of Texas Scouts under Gen. Wheeler and was tried as a spy at Springfield on Dec. He finally escaped from Sylvania, Ga. 19th and reached the Federal lines at Savannah on the 23d.

Glaziers experiences are vividly related in his own words -- through both his journal entries and his recollections. For this book he also recruited fellow survivors of the Confederate prisons to share their own harrowing experiences as inmates of the prison-pen.

In the Foreword he writes. The following pages are offered to inquiring minds with the hope that they may throw some light upon the inhuman treatment we received in Southern prisons. They do not pretend to give a complete history of Prison Life in the South only a part. Others are contributing sketches for the dark picture, which at the best, can but poorly illustrate the fearful atrocities of our brutal keepers.

We are led to conclude by the usage which we have received at the hands of our captors, that it was their deliberate intention to maim, and thereby render us completely unfit for future service. They have seen us, with apparent satisfaction, become so much reduced in clothing as to have scarcely rags for a covering; they have condemned us to hunger and thirst, pain and weariness, affliction and misery in every conceivable form, so that thousands of our unfortunate fellow beings have anxious awaited the approach of the King of Terrors as the arrival of a welcome friend that had come to bring them in happy release. I had no thoughts of publishing a book until several weeks after my escape. I kept a diary and journal from the time of my capture. Upon reading portions of it to some of my friends, they persuaded me to amplify, and put it in a readable form. The rough manuscript was, for the most part, written during my imprisonment at Columbia, sitting on the ground, and writing on my knee. Captain Kelly, 1st Kentucky Cavalry, brought a part of that manuscript through the lines by concealing it in the crown of an old regulation hat, which he wore during his escape. I smuggled the remainder through in the lining of my jacket.
