1865 Confederate 1st/1st Rebel Prisons TORTURE Andersonville CIVIL WAR Union POW



“Life and Death in Rebel Prisons” by Sergeant-Major Robert H. Kellogg is a poignant firsthand account of the harrowing conditions Union soldiers faced in Confederate prisons during the American Civil War. Kellogg, a former prisoner of war, details the inhumane treatment endured at camps like Andersonville, Georgia, and Florence, South Carolina. This book portrays the grim daily life of deprivation, disease, and death, alongside stories of escape attempts, resilience, and unity among captives. Illustrated with twelve engravings, Kelloggs narrative provides a stark historical record of a distressing and often overlooked aspect of the Civil War.



According to Nevins,

“A sergeants journal of captivity, reworked by the editor; very bitter over deliberate cruelty to prisoners, but also gives facts tending to show the opposite.”
