An eyewitness ledger of loss and escape from Confederate Georgia. A stark witness to history.This compact volume combines a civil war prisoner diary and a union soldier memoir with a sober, appended register of the dead. L. Ransom’s account arises from the infamous Andersonville prison camp and the attached list records name, company, regiment, date of death and grave number - an uncommon conjunction of personal testimony and administrative detail that makes the work unusually useful to civil war death records researchers and to those consulting american cemetery listings. It is equally a genealogy research resource for descendants tracing kin and a necessary component for any serious military history collection or civil war reference book. The diary and the register work in tandem: the former supplies voice and circumstance, the latter supplies verifiable facts that can be cross-referenced against muster rolls, cemetery registers and pension files. That duality is what gives the volume both human weight and documentary utility. Beyond its documentary purpose, the diary has literary and historical weight: its first-hand perspective illuminates the daily realities of pows in American history and deepens study of Georgia civil war history and wider 19th century America. Historians and educators will value the primary evidence; casual readers will find the human stories immediate and affecting; classic-literature collectors will prize the authenticity and provenance of a survivor’s ledger restored to the marketplace.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.Readable yet exact, it suits casual readers drawn to human stories and scholars seeking reliable records alike. Whether consulted as a poignant personal account within a military history collection or used as a civil war reference book in research, its restored voice adds clarity and compassion to the archive.
