A Union Captive: Andersonville, Belle Isle, Florence Stockade

by Warren Lee Goss

The first thing you'll notice about Warren Goss’ fluid and articulate writing is that he was an educated man. A teacher before the Civil War, he joined the 2nd Regiment, Massachusetts Heavy Artillery as a sergeant. That he survived not one but two captures and incarcerations in the South is nothing short of miraculous.

The heartbreak, horrendous conditions, escapes, recapture, false hopes, and death...always death...were enough to break any man. Many died from disease and the loss of a will to live. Warren Goss survived it all and spent the rest of his life writing about it.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

This account is so detailed.

This account is so detailed. I have read some concentration camp stories with similar events and horrendous deeds. It seems we humans don't learn. Who edited this? The editing was non existent. I kept reading because I wanted to get the story but it was difficult.
