A comprehensive four-volume history of one soldier's 15 months in Andersonville Prison during the Civil War. The book is divided into 83 chapters, each with a different event witnessed during the author's incarceration.

I have heard (listened to) somewhere near 700 books on LibriVox. I rarely examine reviews posted by other LibriVox users; I try to keep an open mind and make up my own opinion. I have, however, seen negative reviews "poo pooed" by others, who suggest that all readers (narrators) deserve princely status by virtue if the fact that they have volunteered to be reading in the first place. I have encountered readers who are volunteering "to practice their English language proficiency" at the expense of ruining perfectly good books. I have heard some outstanding readings (Mel Nicholson and Ruth Golding reading Dickens come to mind as truly outstanding). I have encountered Jim Locke on numerous occasions in the past. He is one of two readers of this work. I consider myself to be somewhat of a "Civil War buff." I have visited all of the battlefield parks (5 times to Gettysburg including my honeymoon) and I have visited the site of the Andersonville prison in Georgia. Before any other reviewers slam me for this
