Caged Confederates

One of the only and best Civil War books - written from the Confederate point of view Surrender didn't just bring dishonor, it brought death. A story of passion, intrigue and the fight to defend the land they love. This historical novel depicts the hard fought battles for control of the crucial waterways of the Tennessee River Valley and the South's Heartland. Flush with its first major victories, the Union Army would find itself woefully unprepared to care for the thousands of Confederate prisoners captured on the field of battle. The Confederate prisoners of war faced an enemy just as deadly as rifles and artillery. They faced the brutal hell of Camp Douglas, Chicago, Illinois, where over 6,000 would meet their end in the harshest conditions devised by their fellow Americans. The two-fold tragedy is first, that it happened and second, so few of us even know it occurred. To preview one of the best Civil War books ever written, please click on the Cover of Caged Confederates
