oolmaster's Sketches by a Civil War Prisoner
A Civil War memoir fragment recounts daily life at Fort Delaware with privations and humor. Soldiers endure scant food, sutler abuses, and improvised entertainment while details include gambling, boxing, pranks, and a famous incident with a colored servant. The narrative notes prison camps, camaraderie, and reflections on officers and generals through prisoner eyes.
