Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XX Some Interesting Facts. IN the writing of a book of this character much depends on other people. It will be discovered by the author who undertakes it that some people are proverbially slow in responding to inquiries for information, and some never reply at all. This book has suffered somewhat from both causes. To delay the making of copy till all responses are received would consign it to oblivion, at least so far as the author of this volume is concerned. It has been necessary to proceed with the work, and after being prepared for the printer it is difficult to make additions and still preserve clean copy. This chapter has been introduced to provide a place for matter delayed in arrival or forgotten in course of writing the story, and to provide an opportunity for the author to introduce such editorial remarks as could not consistently be included in the body of the history. The absence of footnotes may be noticed by readers. This is due to the author's distaste for them, as an experience of nearly twenty years in newspaper and magazine writing has taught him that the general public is averse to them. No effort has been made to study or introduce a literary style. Facts expressed tersely in the simplest terms, and plain language meet the approval of the reading public and result in a greater enjoyment of reading. Those interested in scientific investigation of special conditions pertaining to the subject will find sufficient to put them on the right track. Literary favor is the last thing sought after, and an escape from the customary newspaper or magazine style the most desired. The author desires to express his deep appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered by Sergeant Berry Benson of the First South Carolina...

Book excerpt: An in-depth history of the inhumane Union Civil War prison camp that became known as “the Andersonville of the North.” Long called by some the “Andersonville of the North,” the prisoner of war camp in Elmira, New York, is remembered as the most notorious of all Union-run POW camps. It existed only from the summer of 1864 to July 1865, but in that time, and for long after, it became darkly emblematic of man’s inhumanity to man. Confederate prisoners called it “Hellmira.” Hastily constructed, poorly planned, and overcrowded, prisoner of war camps North and South were dumping grounds for the refuse of war. An unfortunate necessity, both sides regarded the camps as temporary inconveniences—and distractions from the important task of winning the war. There was no need, they believed, to construct expensive shelters or provide better rations. They needed only to sustain life long enough for the war to be won. Victory would deliver prisoners from their conditions. As a result, conditions in the prisoner of war camps amounted to a great humanitarian crisis, the extent of which could hardly be understood even after the blood stopped flowing on the battlefields. In the years after the war, as Reconstruction became increasingly bitter, the North pointed to Camp Sumter—better known as the Andersonville POW camp in Americus, Georgia—as evidence of the cruelty and barbarity of the Confederacy. The South, in turn, cited the camp in Elmira as a place where Union authorities withheld adequate food and shelter and purposefully caused thousands to suffer in the bitter cold. This finger-pointing by both sides would go on for over a century. And as it did, the legend of Hellmira grew. In this book, Derek Maxfield contextualizes the rise of prison camps during the Civil War, explores the failed exchange of prisoners, and tells the tale of the creation and evolution of the prison camp in Elmira. In the end, Maxfield suggests that it is time to move on from the blame game and see prisoner of war camps—North and South—as a great humanitarian failure. Praise for Hellmira “A unique and informative contribution to the growing library of Civil War histories...Important and unreservedly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review “A good book, and the author should be congratulated.” —Civil War News
