Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 12. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), A Florida boy's experience in prison and in escaping. (search)
A Florida boy's experience in prison and in escaping. Henry G. Damon.
On the 19th of June, 1864, I became an inmate of Rock Island prison, having been captured June 12th, at Cynthiana, in the last battle fought by Morgan on Kentucky soil—a battle that crowned with disaster a raid which, up to that time, had succeeded beyond e o escape again, if you do, look out!
The next Monday evening (November 14th), as I was sitting in my bunk, getting ready for bed, one of the men came in and said: Damon, I just saw a crowd with ladders going across the yard towards No. 4, I reckon they are going to make a charge.
Instantly I jumped to the ground, and calling out, m two weeks, and then gave me money to carry me to Boone county, Ky. There I found a squad, who, under Captain Wainwright, one of Duke's recruiting officers, were about to start for West Virginia.
I joined them.
Christmas week we crossed the line, and early in January I was with my brigade.
Henry G. Damon.
