"Andersonville Diary: Escape, and List of the Dead" by John L. Ransom is a raw, first-hand account from the late 1800s of a Union Army sergeant's brutal imprisonment during the Civil War. Starting with his capture in Tennessee, the book follows his agonizing journey through Confederate prisons, culminating in the infamous Andersonville. Ransom unflinchingly describes the prison's horrific conditions, including starvation, the constant threat of violence from guards, and the desperate battle for survival among his fellow soldiers. More than just a chronicle of suffering, it's a testament to the resilience of these men as they struggle to find hope and maintain their humanity within the depths of despair.
