Returning Home From Confederate Prisoner Exchange Journey

The narrator recalls marching prisoners, counting lists, and the stark contrast between clean, well-clothed Confederates and starving, ragged Union captives. On boarding, relief floods the speaker as enemy hands release them, coffee and meals refresh, and the engine room hums as they drift toward freedom, amid delirious, intense emotions.

Washington sojourn of Confederate prisoners in loyal hospitality

The narrator recalls marching toward James River vessels, then reaching Washington with no money or home comforts. Thanks to Mrs. Fales a pavilion for convalescents opened, army blue garb replaced Confederate rags, and a smiling reception with ice cream followed. He glimpses Lincoln among Washington sights.

Lincoln In Washington Describes Escape and Meeting Faithful Soldiers

Eye witness recounts meeting President Lincoln in the White House tent, discussing the escape from captivity, and the ministerial audience with Secretary Stanton. The narrative covers oath taking, Kansas and Ohio figures, and Lincoln’s hopeful remark that luck with battles could end the war.

Interview with Stanton and Lincoln Leaders During Escape

A wartime recount describes a Washington meeting with Secretary Stanton and President Lincoln. The group, including Maj Gen Sigel and Maj Gen Stahl, received greetings, medals for the private soldiers, $100 each from the secret service fund, refunds of losses, and offers of commissions. The interview focused on war impressions and future service plans.
