Excerpt from Journal of Alfred Ely, 1862: A Prisoner of War in RichmondOn his release from confinement and return to his friends, Mr. Ely found himself incessantly interrogated as to the events which had occurred, the treatment he had experienced, and the individuals with whom he had intercourse. His Journal supplied ample responses to these various inquiries; and those to whom it was submitted concurring in urging him to publish it, he was induced to give his consent, believing that the unvarnished record of his prison life would be accept able, not only to his friends, but to.many others in the North having relatives in the South enduring a similar fate to his, and that his reminiscences might throw some light on the hidden history of the Great Re bellion.Under these circumstances he concluded to. Place the Journal at the disposal of the Editor, with the understanding that all passages of a strictly private or domestic character should be excluded. With these few exceptions the Journal now appears in pre cisely the shape in which it was originally written. The only editorial labor in the matter has been to arrange the foot notes, which will be found to run through the entire volume - and as to the list of pris oners, which appears in the Appendix, it is proper to say that it was compiled by Mr. Ely with great care.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
