Prison Life in Andersonville

by John Levi Maile

Imagine a prison camp where thousands of prisoners died from disease, starvation, and exposure, all while the Confederate government turned a blind eye. Prison Life in Andersonville is a firsthand account of the horrors of the Andersonville Prison Camp during the Civil War. Written by John Levi Maile, a Union soldier who was imprisoned at Andersonville for over a year, the book provides a vivid and harrowing description of the conditions in the camp. Maile's book is a powerful indictment of the Confederacy's treatment of prisoners of war. He describes the overcrowding, lack of food and water, and rampant disease that plagued the camp. He also writes about the brutality of the Confederate guards and the resilience of the Union prisoners.
