Fast and Loose in Dixie is a memoir written by James Madison Drake, detailing his experiences as a prisoner of war during the American Civil War. The book provides an unprejudiced narrative of Drake's personal experiences at three different Confederate prisons: Libby, Macon, Savannah, and Charleston. Drake describes the daily life of a prisoner, including the harsh conditions, lack of food and medical care, and the constant threat of disease and death. He also details his attempts to escape, including his final successful escape from Charleston. Drake's memoir offers a unique perspective on the Civil War, providing readers with an inside look at the experiences of a Union soldier held captive in the South. Published in 1880, Fast and Loose in Dixie remains a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of the Civil War.With An Account Of A Desperate Leap From A Moving Train Of Cars, A Weary Tramp Of Forty-Five Days Through Swamps And Mountains, Places And People Visited, Etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
