This work details the harrowing experiences of the author, a Union soldier, during his captivity in various Southern prisons throughout the American Civil War. The narrative focuses on themes of bravery, resourcefulness, and the harsh conditions faced by prisoners of war during this tumultuous time. The opening of the narrative recounts the author's enlistment in the Union army and his subsequent capture during a skirmish near Haymarket, Virginia. As he describes the chaotic circumstances leading to his imprisonment, he emphasizes the significant losses endured by his regiment and the unfortunate folly of his commanding officer. Prutsman vividly portrays the grim reality faced by him and his fellow prisoners, including the deprivation of basic necessities, the struggle for survival, and the disappointment of shattered hopes for rescue or exchange, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of life within the walls of Confederate prisons.
