About This Item
Savas, 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New. 6x1x9. First Printing. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> "Private George Hitchcock's From Ashby to Andersonville is a remarkable soldier's epic of the American Civil War. Unlike most accounts penned by enlisted men, which usually cover only a brief timespan in a small geographic area, Hitchcock's writings encompass a broad spectrum of experiences across several theaters of war, including his hellish months as a prisoner of war. Despite the hardships and death that make up the daily routine in Andersonville, Hitchcock's account of his months there is remarkably free of vitriol and refreshingly objective in its assessments of his Southern jailers. The sweep of General William T. Sherman's armies deep into Georgia forced the transfer of thousands of Federal captives, including Hitchcock, to other prisons. Hitchcock ended up in Millen's Camp Lawton, and eventually Florence, South Carolina, two little-known prisons about which the Massachusetts native had much to say.
