Summary: Haunting voices of Union POWs speak through this collection.
Comment: The darker aspects of the Civil War emerge from this collection of journal entries, letters, and passages by Union prisoners at Andersonville, a few of the latter pieces written subsequent to their release from incarceration. The common soldiers' accounts are well-illustrated (with photos of the writers and prison, as well as other relevant engravings) and their silent utterances graphically depict the inhumane conditions under which thousands of weary souls suffered, many who literally "gave up the ghost." Delving into this book, the voices of the P.O.W.s seem to speak to you from beyond the grave. Haunting and memorable, their powerful words make this collection worth the reader's experience to better understand and appreciate the trials that these brave men endured in their daily battle for survival.
