Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 22. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The prison experience of a Confederate soldier. (search)
The prison experience of a Confederate soldier. Narrative of the hardships, sufferings, and Hazards of six hundred officers of the Confederate States Army, who were prisoners from August 16th, 1864, to March 4th, 1865, and for six weeks on Morris Island, by Federal effort, were under fire from Confederate batteries. By Abram Fulkerson, late Colonel Sixty-third Tennessee Infantry, Army of Northern Virginia. The writer of the following unvarnished tale is a prominent citizen of Virginia, who has honorably served the State in her Councils. There was no more gallant officer in the Confederate Army than he.

Grant forgets he had instructed Sheridan to consider citizens under fifty years old as prisoners of war, and not as citizen prisoners (See Grant's order of August 16, 1864, Sheridan's Memoirs, first volume, page 486), and this 13,000 embraced all deserters, stragglers, furloughed soldiers of Lee's army, army-agents of all kinds, and all citizens who were carried to Washington, whether soldiers or otherwise. The truth is patent that I have made good my statement that Early killed, wounded and captured from Hunter, Wallace and Sheridan more men than he could ever muster upon any battle-field against either of them, and Grant has turned the truth of history
