Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Two Months a Prisoner of War: A Narrative of Twenty-Two Months' Imprisonment by the Confederates, in Texas, Through General Twiggs' Treachery, Dating From April, 1861, to February, 1863 I am not a writer of romances, histories, travels or metrical compositions, but a plain United States sol dier, and better able to handle the gun than the quill. My narrative will deal with the long time of twenty two months in captivity, in the hands of the Rebels, in Texas, which comes clear to my memory, although the interval between that time is already twenty-eight years. In my leisure hours, meditating upon the dark ness of the past, I find it a pleasure in writing this short story of prison life, and will narrate it in the same manner as if I were telling it to some of my acquaintances, or fellow-comrade soldiers, while sitting around a camp fire. Further, I vouch that everything related herein is strictly true, with the exception of the exact names of persons, places and dates, which may have slipped my memory, during the long time that.

This is one of Captain Holmes' sweet revenges. The 31st of December was ration-day, but instead of issuing us our regular ration of coffee, sugar, hominy, vinegar, candles, soap, salt, pepper, etc., we had to be content with half rations. For instance, eight pounds of coffee was at that time the allowance for a hundred rations, and twelve pounds of sugar, eighteen ounces of flour, etc., per day, but as a substitute for coffee, they issued us four pounds of rye, six pounds of sugar, four pounds of hominy, vinegar none, candles none, soap none, and very little salt and pepper, and to cap it, the coarsest kind of corn meal instead of flour. We tried our best to obtain satisfaction, but altogether in vain. As we expected this treatment would last only for a short time, we tried to make the best of it for the time being, hoping that Captain Holmes might have some few grains of humane feeling left in him, and that he was only trying to show the power he had over us prisoners; we still bore up, hoping for a change. Ration-day after ration-day followed, but always the same rations; at last they made a little change by issuing us as a substitute for rye -- barley. In the month of May, 1862, we suffered the most from want of sustenance. Our daily food was beef and " corndodgers," neither rye, barley nor salt did we receive during this month. At one time, while a number of us were sitting together, I made the remark, that comething must be done to save ourselves from becoming dirty, and to preserve our health. We decided the first thing on the programme was to try and make soap. All of us then went to work, gathering the necessary substance -- bones, offals, waste meat, etc. We commenced the manufacture of soft...

Download or read book Slaughterhouse Five written by Kurt Vonnegut and published by Dial Press Trade Paperback. This book was released on 1999-01-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece, Slaughterhouse-Five is “a desperate, painfully honest attempt to confront the monstrous crimes of the twentieth century” (Time). Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world’s great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming “unstuck in time.” An instant bestseller, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut’s writing—the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit—that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it. Authors as wide-ranging as Norman Mailer, John Irving, Michael Crichton, Tim O’Brien, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Strout, David Sedaris, Jennifer Egan, and J. K. Rowling have all found inspiration in Vonnegut’s words. Jonathan Safran Foer has described Vonnegut as “the kind of writer who made people—young people especially—want to write.” George Saunders has declared Vonnegut to be “the great, urgent, passionate American writer of our century, who offers us . . . a model of the kind of compassionate thinking that might yet save us from ourselves.” More than fifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War, Vonnegut’s portrayal of political disillusionment, PTSD, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant, darkly humorous, and profoundly affecting as ever, an enduring beacon through our own era’s uncertainties.
