These vivid recollections of life on a prison ship during the American Revolution were written by a colonist, who, at the age of 25, was taken prisoner by the British and placed on The Jersey, a prison ship docked at what is now the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The detail of his captivity and the depravity of the conditions illustrate the horrors associated with the Revolutionary War. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pierides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: General Description of the Jersey Prison-Ship - References to the Plates - Our Capture - The First Night on Board - The First Day - The Gun Room and Messes - The Cook's Quarters - Our Situation - The Working Party - The Hospital Ships and Nurses - The Interment of the Dead - The Crew of "The Chance" - The Marine Guard - "Dame Grant" and Her Boat - Our Supplies - Our By-Laws - Our Orator - The Fourth of July - An Attempt to Escape - Memorial to Gen.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1831 edition. Excerpt: ... at the same time. I did not even know that either of them had been sick; and my first intimation of the fact was when 1 was told that their bodies were lying on the grating, on the upper deck. I there found them lying in the same clothes in which they had died. We procured a couple of blankets, and placed them around the bodies, previous to their interment. I applied For permission to accompany their remains to the land, and to assist in their burial; but this was denied me. I however watched their progress to the shore, and saw them deposited in the bank. Mr. Mitchell was generally known among'his fellow-citizens of Providence; and there are many now living who well recollect him. It will, at first, appear almost incredible, that my former companions, my friends and fellow-townsmen could be thus sick and dying, so near me, and I remain in profound ignorance of the fact. But such was, in reality, our situation in this little world of concentrated misery. We were separated and scattered over the different parts of the crowded hulk, and mingled with the great mass of the prisoners: and sometimes meeting each other, among the multitude, we would, on enquiring respecting the fate of an old comrade, receive the appalling information, that he had either been attacked by sickness and removed to one of the Hospital Ships; or had died, and gone to his last home under the bank of the Wallabout. CHAPTER XI. THE MARINE GUARD.
