"How do we get down and up under the trials and disappointments of life? Who can tell?"So asked John Vaughter at the end of what seemed like endless internment at Andersonville Prison during the American Civil War.While Sherman's army lay in front of Atlanta, he determined to send his cavalry on a raid to the enemy's rear, to destroy their railroad communication. So, on July 27th, 1864, General Stoneman moved eastward to pass around the flank of the rebel army, and General Ed McCook, at the same time, started to pass around the left.McCook's command numbered about 2,000 men, well mounted and equipped, of which the writer was one. They were captured on July 30 and sent to Andersonville.Vaughter provides a vivid and horrifying look at life in the Confederate's worst prison. After the war was over, the commandant of the prison was tried and hanged.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

It is not claimed for this story that it gives a full and perfect history of the sufferings of the Union prisoners in the South during the war; but the writer has endeavored to furnish such descriptions and incidents as will give the reader a true picture of Rebel Prisons, and the means and methods of living or dying in them. In doing this, he has relied on his memory; selecting those facts, and trying to paint those pictures which are clearest and plainest in his own mind. He has not tried to color these descriptions they would not bear it; but has told them in plain language, just as they seem to him after a lapse of fifteen years.
