It is my opinion that few persons who possess a liberal education,
but what, if they make the effort, could write some sort of a book;
but to write a book and make it interesting, at the same time have
it contain truth and common sense, is no easy task; but to write
one and let it contain nothing except plain facts, without any of
the coloring which we would give to fiction, and which adds so much
charm to the book and interest for the reader, is a greater and
much more laborious task. In writing this little book, I have
endeavored to keep it clear of all fiction and romance, and to
place only facts before the reader. I have not drawn upon my
imagination for any incident contained in the following pages.
Perhaps some of the incidents may appear unreasonable to those who
have grown up within the last decade, and know but little,
practically, of the war between the States, and nothing whatever of
the life of a prisoner of war; nevertheless, they are all stubborn
facts.
