John W. Urban’s ‘Battle Field And Prison Pen, Or Through The War And Thrice A Prisoner In Rebel Dungeons’

Later in 1882, John W. Urban’s 1882 484-page book entitled, Battle Field And Prison Pen, Or Through The War And Thrice A Prisoner In Rebel Dungeons.

Urban described the book as “a graphic recital of personal experiences throughout the whole period of the late War for the Union—during which the author was actively engaged in 25 Battles and Skirmishes, was three times taken prisoner of war, and incarcerated in the notorious rebel dungeons, Libby, Pemberton, Andersonville, Savannah, and others. An inside view of those dens of death, atrocities practiced, etc.; in fact, a recital of possibly as varied and thrilling experiences as was known during all the wild vicissitudes of that terrible four years of internecine strife.”
