The narrative focuses on the grim realities and experiences of Union soldiers during the Civil War, specifically detailing the grim conditions in Southern military prisons, including Andersonville, Richmond, and others, through the perspective of the author, a soldier who was captured and endured these hardships firsthand. The opening of the book introduces readers to the author's motivations for documenting the harsh realities of life in Confederate prisons, emphasizing the need to remember the suffering of Union soldiers. In the introduction and preface, McElroy reflects on the significance of bearing witness to the cruel treatment of prisoners and the morally corrupted nature of the Southern system that led to such injustices.
