Download or read book The Adventures of a Prisoner of War 1863 1864 written by Decimus et Ultimus Barziza and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This journal is the exciting personal narrative of a Texan who was a prisoner of the Union Army during the Civil War, escaped to Canada, and finally made his way back into the Confederacy through the blockade. It was written while the war was still in progress. The journal was issued anonymously in Houston early in 1865. Its author, Decimus et Ultimus Barziza, was a colorful, competent, truly remarkable Texan—well educated, well traveled, and sophisticated as an observer. Barziza came to Texas from Virginia in 1857. He left a growing law practice at Owensville to enter Confederate service as first lieutenant of the “Robertson Five-Shooters,” an infantry company which was one of the original units of the Fourth Texas Infantry, Hood’s Brigade. After fighting in many battles, he was wounded at Gettysburg and left lying on the field. The Yankees picked him up and imprisoned him at Johnson’s Island. A year later, as Barziza was being shipped to another prison, he escaped by diving through a window of the moving train at midnight. Making his way across Pennsylvania to New York, he took a train for Canada. There he became one of the first beneficiaries of an underground system which eventually returned him to North Carolina. Too ill from his wounds and the hardships of his escape to return to active duty, he spent the next few months writing his memoirs. They cover the period from the drive for Gettysburg to Barziza’s return to the Confederacy. Before the original publication of this book, only two copies of The Adventures of a Prisoner of War were known to exist. R. Henderson Shuffler, then director of the Texana program of the University of Texas, felt that it was intriguing and important enough to merit editing for republication. The journal has the further attraction of describing the then little-known machinery which was set up in Canada to help Rebel soldiers who had escaped Northern prisons make their way back to the Confederacy by way of Nova Scotia and Bermuda. Shuffler supplements the narrative with limited yet helpful documentation, providing introductory sections explaining Barziza’s background and his career as a Texas legislator and lawyer, as well as carrying the war story up to the sequence where Barziza’s account begins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thrilling stories of war-time adventure with absolute fidelity and by writers who participated in the events described. 300 pages of the most daring and romantic episodes of the Civil War. A seminal work of the era: true stories told by the men and women who led, who fought, and who lived in an America that had come apart at the seams. "We have been told that it is best for women to learn how to shoot too, so as to protect themselves when the men have all gone to battle. Every evening after dinner we adjourn to the back lot and fire at a target with pistols. Yesterday I dined at Uncle Ralph's. Some members of the bar were present, and were jubilant about their brand-new Confederacy. It would soon be the grandest government ever known." For those who did not die on the battlefield, but who were instead taken prisoner, the Civil War presented an even more piercing version of hell. Prison conditions were horrendous, and the prisoners frequently died of starvation and disease. These accounts of prison escapes show what desperate men will do, fleeing absolute peril to land behind enemy lines, struggling to get back to their own side and live to fight another day. Searing and difficult, this account puts readers into the minds of men at the breaking point, compelled to risk death for freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate story of the American Civil War Readers who are familiar with Leonaur's edition of 'Three Years in the Federal Cavalry' will know that it concerns the Civil War experiences of young Captain Willard Glazier of the 2nd New York Cavalry. Within its pages we join him in many marches, raids, skirmishes and battles up to and beyond the great collision between the North and the South at Gettysburg. This second volume of this intrepid young man's experiences takes up his story at this point. Shortly after his engagement with the enemy at Culpepper Court Hose and Liberty Mills, Glazier's luck ran out. At Buckland's Mill his horse was shot from beneath him and he was ridden over in a Confederate charge which knocked him senseless. On regaining consciousness he found himself in Confederate hands as a prisoner of war. Nearly a year of incarceration within Confederate prison camps followed together with a daring escape and bid for freedom. An essential chronicle of the war between the states. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.

Download or read book The Greatest Escape written by Douglas Miller and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greatest Escape: A True American Civil War Adventure tells the story of the largest prison breakout in U.S. history. It took place during the Civil War, when more than 1,200 Yankee officers were jammed into Libby, a special prison considered escape-proof, in the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia. A small group of men, obsessed with escape, mapped out an elaborate plan and one cold and clear night, 109 men dug their way to freedom. Freezing, starving, clad in rags, they still had to travel 50 miles to Yankee lines and safety. They were pursued by all the white people in the area, but every Black person they encountered was their friend. In every instance, slaves risked their lives to help these Yankees, and their journey was aided by a female-led Union spy network. Since all the escapees were officers, they all could read and write well. Over 50 of them would publish riveting accounts of their adventures. This is the first book to weave together these contemporary accounts into a true-to-life narrative. Much like a Ken Burns documentary, this book uses the actual words the prisoners recorded more than 150 years ago, as found in their many diaries and journals.
