''Ten Months A Captive Among Filipinos'' is a first-hand account of the experiences of Albert Sonnichsen during his imprisonment on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The book, published in 1901, details the author’s journey from his capture by Filipino rebels to his eventual release after ten months in captivity. Throughout the book, Sonnichsen provides a detailed narrative of his daily life as a captive, including the harsh living conditions, the constant threat of violence, and the relationships he formed with his fellow prisoners. He also provides insights into the political and social climate of the Philippines during the early 20th century, shedding light on the tensions between the Filipino independence movement and the American colonial government.Sonnichsen’s account is both a personal memoir and a historical document, offering readers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Philippine history. His vivid descriptions of life in captivity and his observations on the political situation in the Philippines make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Philippines, colonialism, and the human experience of captivity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
