Excerpt from Three Hundred Days in a Yankee Prison: Reminiscenses of War Life, Captivity, Imprisonment at Camp Chase, Ohio
Very much has been written and much more embodied in the partial reports and exparte investigations of the so-called "Horrors of Andersonville" and the "inhuman treatment" of the prisoners of the Federal armies by the prison officials, and the agents of the Confederate State"s War Department. These publications have emanated from the press of Northern publishers and have been inspired by a spirit of enmity which is evidently partisan and extremely vindictive. Doubtless, much that has been thus detailed of the privations and sufferings of the prisoners captured by our Confederate armies and sent for security to prison camps, is true. From the very nature of the imprisonment, prison life, at best, is one of privation.
