""Eighteen Months A Prisoner Under The Rebel Flag"" is a memoir written by Samuel S. Boggs and published in 1889. The book provides a detailed account of Boggs' experiences as a prisoner of war during the American Civil War. Boggs describes his time in six different Confederate prisons, including Belle Isle, Danville, Andersonville, Charleston, Florence, and Libby. He provides a vivid and often harrowing description of the conditions he and his fellow prisoners endured, including overcrowding, starvation, disease, and brutality at the hands of their captors. The book is a condensed pen picture of Boggs' experiences, and as such, it provides a brief but powerful glimpse into the reality of life as a prisoner of war during one of the darkest periods in American history. It is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the experiences of those who suffered during the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
