Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences of His Capture and Escape From Prison and Adventures Within the Federal Lines
Dear Colonel: Yours of the 19th is to hand and contents noted. I was in hopes of seeing more of and having quite a chat with you at our recent re union, but as there were so many for you to divide your time with, I felt that it would be more enjoyable to both to wait a more opportune time. True to my promise, I will endeavor to give you a sketch of my capture, imprison ment and finally my escape and return to Dixie. It is now thirty long years since that event, and while I have related it but very seldom, and have never before attempted to write it, have on scores of occasions been importuned by writers to let them have it for various literary papers, &c. To make it more interesting, I will enter into as detailed an account as I can remember, and must admit it is very nearly as fresh in my memory today as then.
