Prison Life Thoughts! is a book written by Simon Mohler Landis in 1872. The book is a personal account of Landis' experiences as a prisoner during the American Civil War. Landis was a Mennonite and a pacifist, and he refused to fight in the war. As a result, he was imprisoned for several months in a military prison in Maryland.In the book, Landis describes the harsh conditions of prison life, including the lack of food, clothing, and medical care. He also reflects on the psychological toll of imprisonment, including the fear, loneliness, and despair that he experienced. Despite these challenges, Landis maintains a strong faith and uses his time in prison to reflect on his beliefs and values.Prison Life Thoughts! is considered a significant work of prison literature and a valuable historical document. It provides a firsthand account of the conditions and experiences of prisoners during the Civil War, as well as insights into the religious beliefs and values of Mennonites and pacifists during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
