Living Death a Civil War Prisons
Diary accounts from Union prisoners at Andersonville describe brutal conditions as escapes fail, guards pursue, and bloodhounds close in. Entries detail hunger, scurvy, lice, filth, and the daily death toll, while prisoners improvise barber work and share rare hospitality from Battese and others. The narrative captures despair, resilience, and brief humor amid starvation and disease.
