The Bold Prison Break From Confederate Jail

An account of a planned daylight breakout from a Confederate jail led by Capt Fry and other prisoners. They armed themselves, overpowered guards, seized keys, and fled through yard, back gate, and woods, while guards pursued with cavalry and dogs. Several escapees were recaptured or killed. Fry and a deserter escaped, eight prisoners were recaptured, and one young soldier died from injuries after the breakout.

Daring Escape Plans From Early Imprisonment

From the start of confinement we debated escape and kept a hopeful scheme alive after Chattanooga. Andrews and Wollam even reached the prison wall with Wollam at large for days. They discuss escaping in open air during October weather with Melis supplies, reviewing past errors and lessons to aid a second attempt.

Fragmented Civil War Memoir Channeling Bravery and Ills

An underlined wartime reminiscence describes rough discipline, a near smothering grip, and a tense night vigil among comrades. The writer recounts confrontations, rumors of Confederate retreat, and the presence of officers noting drinking and scuffles as medical aid and Gramiberkin’s Cough Remedy are mentioned in passing.
