Excerpt from War Prisoners I approach this Question as one who believed in this war. Not because I love war; for I hate it. Not because I do not wish that in the economy of nature there might be something else. But I believe that man is a fighting animal, and that the United States had nothing to do but fight. I shall discuss it from the standpoint of one who, from the time Belgium was invaded, believed that it was the duty of the civilized world to drive the last German back to the Fatherland! And this, utterly regardless of whether those Germans were better or worse than the people who were driving them back.

Excerpt from Prisoners of War: A Story of Andersonville There is, of course, a marked difference between glorifying war and recording the facts. Whatever may be our feeling toward war itself, there are certain facts which every one ought to know. Perhaps more complete information will aid in avoiding causes of other possible con icts.

Excerpt from The Prisoner of War, and How Treated Subsequent events, however, have shown that our late enemies are not possessed of the same spirit of kindly feeling and friendship that we have extended to them. Moreover, that the leaders among them have, under the dissembling guise of repentance, sought the pardon and confidence of the nation - which, by force of arms, in four years of bloody war, they failed to dis member - that they might, with the wily arts of the politician, accomplish its destruction.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Prisoner of War and His Escape Soon after my escape from captivity and my arrival at the home of my father-in - law, at Elmira, New York, where my good wife was, my sister Sarah, who was older than myself, and her husband, came to see me. She sat down by my side and said: Now Daniel, tell me all about it. How you were captured, how treated while a prisoner of war, how you made your escape and worked your way from Columbia, South Carolina, to Elmira. She held me to a strict account until she had the full story. I then told her that if after that I should be asked about it I would refer them to her (she would have given a good narrative), but unfortunately she is not living now. I have never been much inclined to talk about my prison life, nor had thought of writing about it until recently when some of my comrades, who had been talking with me about it, sug gested and strongly urged that I write it out. The result of which is these reminiscences. Doubtless I could have told this story betterfifty years ago, for, as I did not keep a diary or any memorandum, it is entirely from mem ory, yet the events made a fixed impression on my mind and I believe that what I have herein narrated is correct. I was born January 3rd. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My Experience as a Prisoner of War, and Escape From Libby Prison It was now after dark, and I began to feel as though something real good to eat would not be objectionable. A wounded Union soldier soon came to me, whom I asked to get me water and something to eat. He left me for that purpose, soon returning with water - I thought the best I had ever drank - and two ears of corn, saying he was very sorry, but he could find nothing else to eat.

Excerpt from Prisoner of War Paris again, with its streets, where one can walk where one likes, and its restaurants, where one can eat what one pleases, its real houses, real laughter, and real bread! There it is, after seven days and seven nights in the train. I look at my ragged and buttonless overcoat, with its strap pinned on by a safety pin, and the dirty strip of stuff which was once my red cross brassard and I fancy it is all a dream. People ask me to "tell them all about it." That isn't easy; just at present I am afraid of losing grip of my will and memory. I think I have lost the taste for writing, just as I have lost the taste for good tobacco and good wine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
