Captured in the American Civil War era, Willard W. Glazier writes with the plain nerve of a man who has seen the inside of enemy stockades and lived to measure the cost. Freedom becomes a daily calculation. The capture, the prison pen, and the escape is a military captivity autobiography that brings you into confederate prison life in the 19th century South: hunger, boredom, rumours, discipline, and the hard ethics of survival among fellow captives. An unabridged civil war memoir and a prison escape narrative, it stands with the strongest POW camp memoirs as a first-hand record of what a Union prisoner of war endured, and how an escape from captivity could be imagined, organised, and risked. Read it alongside Andersonville prison accounts to hear the wider chorus of captivity in the divided nation. Glazier's direct, observant voice gives modern readers a lived texture of wartime institutions, while offering civil war history readers a primary source that suits an annotated primary source edition approach and rewards re-reading. In its candour and restraint, this nineteenth-century testimony tracks the mechanics of confinement: routines, makeshift economies, fractured news, and the pressure of waiting. It is also a portrait of endurance and comradeship, written close to the events, and important to classic-literature collectors who prize authentic voices as much as narrative drive on the shelf. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
