and offensive, but the prisoners were not allowed to put their heads out of the windows, even for the purpose of breathing purer air. If they became so bold the guard on the outside would immediately use the head for a target.


There were, large tubs provided in the room for water, which was brought up in pails and poured in, leaving the prisoners to get it as best they could. There was never food or water enough to satisfy the cravings of hunger and thirst. Everything we had about us, except what we stood in, was taken, and, as it was never returned, it is proper to state that we were robbed.


. I remained in Libby about a week when I was, with others, marched, under guard of course, to Manchester, opposite Richmond, and placed in box freight cars almost as thick as we could stand. On each side of the car holes about a foot square were cut to let in air. In this way and manner we made the journey to Danville, start- ing in the forenoon from Manchester and arriving at about the same time the next day at Danville. During this journey no food or water was given, and a fast of twenty-four hours to a man already hungry, in such a place, with such poor ventilation and no opportunity to sit, caused much suffering. At Danville the party was transferred to a large tobacco warehouse, served with two hard crackers and a little water, and kept until the next morning, when I was again placed on board similar cars and started for Augusta, Georgia.


This journey occupied four days and four nights, and

our treatment was worse than on the trip from Richmond to Danville. During these four days and nights I re- ceived for food five hard crackers, and received water twice very sparingly.


One poor fellow died on the trip, and, because of the crowded condition of the car, there was not room to lay his body down, so it was supported in a corner of the car by his comrades taking turns at holding the dead body in position. At Augusta, when ordered from the car, the body remained, and its treatment thereafter I never knew.


Two hard crackers and a little water was given me at Augusta, and I, with the other prisoners, was crowded into a long, narrow shed, where we remained one day, and was then placed on the cars again and started for Ander- sonville, where we arrived after about twenty-four hours.


Andersonville prison has been often described. I will only say that no description seen or heard by me has exag- gerated its condition. My first view of the inside of Ander- sonville stockade made an impression which will never be effaced. I came face to face with the thousands of pris- oners who showed the effects of the confinement and lack of proper nourishment. Many had not sufficient clothing ; hair and beard uncombed and uncut ; many without hats or shoes ; all having that hungry, half-starved appearance which spoke volumes to us. Close to the en- trance I saw one poor soldier lying flat upon his back and nearly. naked, who was suffering the agonies of dissolu- tion. A comrade was soothing his last hours as best he could. This scene coming upon me suddenly, in connec-


316

tion with the general appearance of the place, caused a feeling of despondency and wonder as to what the result would be. It seemed to be the deliberate plan of the au- thorities to render all prisoners, who by reason of a strong constitution were able to retain a hold upon life, unfit for further duty, and many a survivor of Andersonville car- ries with him constant reminders of life at that prison. During my stay at Andersonville I had nine different bunk-mates who died from disease and exposures of the camp.


What I now state may seem a pure invention. I confess I should hesitate to believe if I had not seen it and en- joyed its benefits: One night in September when the brook running through the prison was nearly dry and very foul, a spring of clear, cool water burst from the hillside. thus furnishing the much needed liquid. We were given by the prison authorities a V trough for the water to run in, which furnished an opportunity for drinking, much appreciated by all. So far as I know it was a mysterious occurrence, and had its effect upon the prisoners. Un- doubtedly the pure water saved many lives, or at least prolonged them.


We worked on a tunnel twenty-one days, succeeding in reaching the outside, and one night five of us escaped through it. As soon as the fact was discovered blood- hounds, kept on hand for the purpose, were put on our track. I saw them coming on my track and climbed into a tree. Of course I was caught and taken back to the prison .. I was placed in the stocks and kept there twenty-

four hours. My sufferings will never be forgotten, and it is beyond my power to describe them.


Many have been the accounts written of Andersonville prison, some of them hard to believe, as it would seem impossible for human beings to lose all feeling, but I do not believe it possible, judging from my own experience, to exaggerate the sufferings and horrors of that place, or to convey in too strong language the utter disregard for human life which the prison authorities seemed to possess.


Sherman's movements in Georgia in the fall of 1864 made it necessary for the rebels to abandon Anderson- ville and transfer the prisoners to other points. I was placed in a tight box car with other prisoners and taken to Savannah, and from there to Charleston, South Caro- lina, and placed in the prison yard under fire of the Union batteries shelling the city. Here we were kept for ten days, and it is remarkable that so few casualties occurred. Our food was principally cob-meal in small quantities.


From the prison yard we were transferred to the race- course near the city, where we were kept a week in the open air without covering of any kind. From the race- course we were marched to the cars again and trans- ferred to Florence, South Carolina, where a new prison pen had just been completed and we were its first occu- pants. This prison was built very like the one at Ander- sonville, the situation being similar, with a brook running through it, but the area of the pen was much less.


While at this prison overtures were made to the prison- ers to enlist in the Confederate service and thus secure

clothing and food. Many of them did so enlist, and some who did were soon brought back, for what reason I do not know. I have no doubt some of the prisoners took advan- tage of the offer for the purpose of deserting and getting back to the Union lines, and perhaps that was the reason so many who did enlist were returned to the prison.


The treatment of the prisoners at Florence was no improvement on that of Andersonville. The dead line rule was enforced here with great severity, and many were shot by the guards for going too near the line.


I remained in Florence about two months, when I was so fortunate as to be one of about one thousand se- lected for parole. We were loaded on cars and taken to Charleston, S. C., leaving Florence about sunset one night and arriving at Charleston about the same time the next night, and were huddled together on a wharf, where we remained through the night. Two of our number died on the cars coming from Florence, and one on the wharf that night. We did not sleep, but watched with anxiety for the morning. Some were much excited with anticipations of what the morning would bring forth, some were crying, some praying, and some singing. It was a night never to be forgotten, and no one outside of that party can realize the feelings of the men as they shivered in their rags through the long hours and watched for the dawn of morning. During the forenoon of the the next day we were taken in row-boats to the Union vessels, one man dying near me while making the passage. As we boarded one ship each was given a suit of cloth-

ing, not much attention being paid to the fit of the same, and we were ordered to another vessel, where we washed, threw away our old rags, and put on the new suit. After completing our toilet we were placed on board the George Peabody, which immediately sailed for Annapolis, Mary- land. In the four days we were on this vessel occurred some fifty deaths. Arriving at Annapolis I was taken to hospital, where I remained about two weeks, and was then given a furlough.


At Annapolis the doctors charged that we be very care- ful about eating, and watched the food very closely, but in spite of all these warnings men who had starved for many months could not resist temptation. I suffered for an imprudence in this line for which I nearly lost my life. I could not resist eating a piece of mince pie, which for a time made me feel that my end had come.


Taking my furlough, I started for my home in Niantic, Rhode Island, where I arrived without accident and went to my home. I was so changed in appearance as not to be recognized at first, and upon making myself known re- ceived, of course, a welcome as of one risen from the dead.


The effects of starvation, exposure, and the awful scenes witnessed during my prison life of eight months will never be overcome in this life, and from a stout, rug- ged country boy, as I was when I enlisted. I came from the service a. broken down, almost entirely wrecked physically. human being, and never expect to fully re- cover from its effects, and I never can blot out the remem- brance of days in southern military prisons.
