BATTLEFIELD AND PRISON PEN
Through the War, and Thrice a Prisoner in Rebel Dungeons

The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865) was a civil war in the United States between the Union ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), which was formed in 1861 by states that had seceded from the Union to preserve African American slavery, which they saw as threatened because of the election of Abraham Lincoln and the growing abolitionist movement in the North.  Very Good condition.

This book is a historical memoir by John W. Urban, a Union soldier who was a prisoner of war during the American Civil War. 

It provides a firsthand account of his experiences in 25 battles and skirmishes, his multiple captures, and his incarceration in notorious Confederate dungeons, including Andersonville and Libby Prison. It also describes the terrible conditions faced by prisoners, such as starvation and disease.
