Excerpt from A Confederate Spy Was Hanged at Barrancas, Florida, During the Civil WarWell, I ran to Warrington, where I went to the house of a friend, whose name I have for gotten. He was a true Southerner, but em ployed at the navy yard. The sentinel had gotten a fairly good view of my face as the light ¿ared when I lighted the ball of cord, and of course, details of soldiers were out looking for me. I remained at the house of my friend for three days, but realizing that he would be placed in a very compromising position if I was found there, I decided to make a dash for liberty, and the fourth night I tried to escape to the Confederate lines, but was captured and taken to the encampment of the Seventh Vermont Regiment of Infantry near to Fort Barrancas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
