Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prison Life The Legislature of Maryland by joint resolution adjourned to meet in the City of Frederick, September 17th, 1861. The author of this brief narrative of Prison Life in Government prisons was the Reading Clerk of the Maryland Senate. The office which he held clearly indicated his duties. The writer, in common with other citizens of Maryland who were attracted to the temporary capital of the State by the momentous questions to be discussed by the Maryland Legislature, availed himself of what he then believed and still believes to be the unquestioned prerogative of every freeman - the right to express his convictions of public duty. Having this perception of political right, the writer of this did not hesitate freely to exchange opinion with citizens of Frederick and gentlemen from other sections of the State, doubtless drawn there by the magnitude of the questions to be discussed in the Legislature, and upon whose deliberations the destiny of their State was in a measure to be decided. Believing at that time, as he still believes, that the old Union was hopelessly destroyed, the writer, a citizen born, reared and educated in Maryland, necessarily felt some interest in the future political affiliation which his State might form. When, during the summer of 1861, it became manifest from the repeated acts of tyranny on the part of the General Government, that Maryland had ceased to exist as a State, but was considered only a mere province of the Federal Government. The last free Legislature elected by the freemen of the former State of Maryland, through the Committee on Federal Relations, made a Report on the condition of the State, which will be read and admired as long as the English language exists. After they had eloquently and truthfully portrayed, and indignantly protested against the wrongs and outrages heaped upon a brave, spirited, but helpless State, they adjourned to meet on the 17th of September, 1861.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Prison Life In regard to the matter of the volume, I feel at liberty to say, that every word of it can be relied on as fact; and I have endeavored, by the exercise of some care, to have as few errors of opinion as would be possible in such a work. It is possible, that, in the labor of transcribing, some things may have taken a shade not contemplated in the first draft; but everywhere, it has been mv design to adhere strictly to the facts as I knew them, without coloring a single incident for effect. The truth of it is, the facts themselves, which came to light during a protracted residence in one of our great penitentiaries, are sufficiently pungent and thrilling, without the help of fiction; and the nearer a writer can come to the realities actually around him, the more graphic, as well as instructive, will be his book. Such, at least, was my firm conviction in the preparation of these pages; and I have, consequently, endeavored to relate what I saw, and heard, and experienced, during my first year as chaplain of the Ohio state prison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpse of Prison Life (From the San Francisco Daily News June 5, 1909.)If you chance to meet J. Wess Moore, you wont have any trouble in identifying him. He looks more like Uncle Sam than any one you know, with the shrewd, kindly features familiar to the caricature and inevitable chin beard. He will offer you, if you seem approachable, a pamphlet of verse entitled, Glimpses of Prison Life. Its price is whatever you are inclined to give, but whatever that may be, it will be well applied. "Echoes" were written before Moore was admitted to parole. Every one of them was suggested by some experience of his eight years in stripes, part of his life sentence for killing the man who had "jumped" his claim. The verse form is simple, often crude, but the thoughts, are not, for they are thoughts that would not down. Moore did not begin life either as a poet or philosopher. He was a farmer boy in the old Quaker town of Dublin, Indiana. Where barely 15 years of age he ran away to war. He was too ?young to enlist, so he went as a drummer boy and camp follower with the village volunteers in the Army of the Cumber land. A year later he was sent home sick, when he obtained his mothers consent to enlist. Then he served two years and two months more, with Sherman to the sea, and in the bloody fields of Atlanta. When mustered out, he farmed in Indiana until ruined by floods, which sent him west to Nebraska. Here a cyclone demolished his buildings and he came on to California. With him came his wife. She died of a broken heart after 28 years of married life while he was still in San Quentin. "O precious, faithful, gentle wife, how can I bear this sorrow, Alone, bereft, a felon's life, today, perhaps tomorrow," - Wrote the prisoner. Capt. Ellis of the guard broke the news to Moore. She had followed her husband to the prison, where she found work, first in the stewards home and then with the family of Guard White. Two or three times a week she used to see him, when she would give him delicacies made with her own hands to vary the rough prison fare. Offers To Be Hostage. Mrs. E.G. Humphrey, a missionary, offered to act as a hostage could Moore be allowed to follow his helpmate to the grave, but Warden Aguirre could find no such precedent in the regulations. So the prisoner prayed in his cell. Moore is a cautious talker. But he tells how he spent his time and of the general life of the prisoners freely enough, though without comment. For the first 14 months Moore worked in the jute mill, when, on account of poor health, he was given the congenial employment of prison librarian under Warden Aguirre. Then came Warden John W.Tompkins. Moore was summoned one night before Warden Tompkins. He came in hobbling on two canes. Tompkins accused him of having received smuggled tobacco from a guard. Moore gave an answer that brought swift punishment. Clad in dungeon clothes he spent three days in the incorrigible cell, condemned to silence. But Prison Director James Wilkins heard of it and ordered his release. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life in Prison I was broke. I had not eaten for three days. I had walked the streets for three nights. Every fibre of my being, every precept of my home training protested against and would not permit my begging. I saw persons all about me spending money for trifles, or luxuries. I envied the ragged street urchin as he took a nickel in exchange for a newspaper and ran expectantly to the next pedestrian. But I was broke and utterly miserable. Have you ever been broke? Have you ever been hungry and miserable, not knowing when or where you were going to get your next meal, nor where you were going to spend your next night? Have you ever tramped holes in your shoes in a tiresome, discouraging effort to get work, meeting rebuff and insults in return for your earnestness and sincerity, and encountering an utter lack of an understanding of your crying necessity in those with whom you have pleaded for a chance?
