Excerpt from A Prisoner of War in Virginia, 1864-5My experience as a prisoner in Virginia began on the 19th of October, 1864, a day made famous by Sheridan's decisive victory at Cedar Creek. At the time of the battle, my regiment, which belonged to Grover's division of the lgth Army Corps, occupied a position on the extreme left of the line that had been assigned to the corps. On our left, the field sloped down to the Shenan doah Pike, while on the farther side of the pike, a rising ground extending to the ¿ank of Massa nutten Mountain was occupied by the 8th Corps. The line of the entire army faced southward, the only direction from which an attack seemed to be possible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
