Publisher's Synopsis
My Record in Rebeldom: As Written by Friend and Foe is a memoir written by James M. Sanderson, originally published in 1865. Sanderson was a Union soldier who served in the American Civil War, and his memoir documents his experiences as a prisoner of war in the Confederate South. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is Sanderson's personal account of his time as a prisoner of war, including his capture, imprisonment, and eventual release. He describes the conditions he and his fellow prisoners endured, including lack of food, shelter, and medical care. Sanderson also recounts his interactions with Confederate soldiers and civilians, some of whom were sympathetic to the Union cause.The second part of the book consists of letters and accounts written by both Union and Confederate soldiers and civilians, providing a variety of perspectives on the war and its aftermath. These accounts offer insight into the attitudes and beliefs of people on both sides of the conflict, and help to paint a more complete picture of the Civil War era.Overall, My Record in Rebeldom is a valuable historical document that provides a firsthand account of the experiences of Union soldiers during the Civil War, as well as a broader perspective on the social and political climate of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
