Miles O. Sherrill first published his "A Soldier's Story" in 1904 at the age of 63. He was a young Confederate soldier, and his war journal tells a timeless tale of fresh-faced enthusiasm and patriotism tempered over time by hard work, anguish, and the grueling horrors of warfare. Sherrill was shot and captured at the Spotsylvania Court House, had his leg amputated, and transferred to the Elmira Prison Camp. Special thanks those in both the North and South, for their dedication to preserving the historical integrity of the Elmira Prison Camp.

"Many of the volumes comprising this microfilm publication originally were part of the records of the Office of the Commissary General of Prisoners, but a small number were created by the Surgeon's General's Office and individual Army commands. Some of the records were compiled in the Commissary General's Office from rolls, returns, and reports submitted by military prisons and stations, but mainly they were created at individual prisons or stations and later turned over to the Commissary General's Office. A few volumes were possibly compiled by the Prisoner of War Division of the Adjutant General's Office"--Introd.

The holding of prisoners of war has always been both a political and a military enterprise, yet the military prisons of the Civil War, which held more than four hundred thousand soldiers and caused the deaths of fifty-six thousand men, have been nearly forgotten. Now Lonnie R. Speer has brought to life the least-known men in the great struggle between the Union and the Confederacy, using their own words and observations as they endured a true ?hell on earth.? Drawing on scores of previously unpublished firsthand accounts, Portals to Hell presents the prisoners? experiences in great detail and from an impartial perspective. The first comprehensive study of all major prisons of both the North and the South, this chronicle analyzes the many complexities of the relationships among prisoners, guards, commandants, and government leaders.

Excerpt from Prisoners of War, 1861-65: A Record of Personal Experiences, and a Study of the Condition and Treatment of Prisoners on Both Sides During the War of the Rebellion In 1864, the regiment of which I was adjutant was placed on guard over Camp Morton near Indianapolis, Indiana, then one of the largest prisons for rebels in the North, and in the Winter of 1865 I was made a prisoner at the battle of Fort Stedman in front of Petersburg, Virginia, and was confined in the well-known Libby Prison at Rich mond. I thus had the opportunity of seeing at first hand both Sides of this much mooted question, the treatment of prisoners. The facts as I saw and experienced them, and the conclusions I reached, I shall try to give you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Released just this year, this fascinating recount and examination of life and survival in United States Prison Camps endured by Confederate Soldiers, this book gives rich enhancement of one's understanding of our nation's civil war history. As the title suggests, James Stallings takes the angle of focusing genealogical prison records to his home state of Georgia. However, the letters and recounts mentioned in this book, along with its historical aspects of the prisons themselves, allows the reader an excellent cross-section of Confederate Prisoners of War that suffered and died (as did their fellow countrymen in Confederate camps) in P.O.W. camps set up by the United States Army.
