Few names in American Civil War history evoke such dread as Andersonville. In this stark civil war memoir, Confederate surgeon R. Randolph Stevenson offers an unflinching andersonville prison account from within the stockade itself. The setting is Andersonville, Georgia. Written as both personal testimony and defence, his prisoner of war narrative tackles, head on, the bitter prisoner treatment controversy that raged after the war, setting conditions in Confederate prison camps against those in the North and arguing the South's case to a sceptical public. Drawing on his experience in charge of medical care, Stevenson records daily realities, administrative decisions and grim compromises, creating a key work of confederate prison history and american civil war south memory. For civil war researchers, for military history students, and for readers seeking an andersonville diary companion or civil war primary source collection, it is an indispensable, if uncomfortable, voice from inside one of history's most notorious civil war prison camps. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, presented for casual readers drawn to powerful true stories as well as for serious collectors of nineteenth-century testimony and andersonville georgia history.
