Twelve Months in Andersonville (Abridged, Annotated)

There are many books on the horrors of the Confederate prisons but Lessel Long’s Andersonville memoir stands out for its graphic detail and official corroboration of what he suffered. He lost good friends and nearly died before his release late in the war. He was determined the world would know what they had been through. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
