""Prisoners of War, 1861-65"" is a historical account of the experiences of prisoners during the American Civil War. Written by Thomas Sturgis and originally published in 1912, the book provides a detailed analysis of the conditions and treatment of prisoners on both sides of the conflict. Sturgis draws on his own experiences as a prisoner of war, as well as extensive research and interviews with other former prisoners. The book covers topics such as the capture and imprisonment of soldiers, the conditions of prison camps, the treatment of prisoners by their captors, and the efforts made by both sides to exchange prisoners. Sturgis also examines the impact of the prisoner experience on the mental and physical health of those who were incarcerated. The book offers a unique perspective on the Civil War and sheds light on a little-discussed aspect of the conflict. It is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of the Civil War or the experience of prisoners of war in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
