These vivid recollections of life on a prison ship during the American Revolution were written by a colonist, who, at the age of 25, was taken prisoner by the British and placed on The Jersey, a prison ship docked at what is now the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The detail of his captivity and the depravity of the conditions illustrate the horrors associated with the Revolutionary War. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pierides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: General Description of the Jersey Prison-Ship References to the Plates Our Capture The First Night on Board The First Day The Gun Room and Messes The Cook’s Quarters Our Situation The Working Party The Hospital Ships and Nurses The Interment of the Dead The Crew of 'The Chance' The Marine Guard 'Dame Grant' and Her Boat Our Supplies Our By-Laws Our Orator The Fourth of July An Attempt to Escape Memorial to Gen.
