"Many books have been written upon prison life in the South, but should every survivor of Andersonville, Macon, Savannah, Charleston, Florence, Salisbury, Danville, Libby and Belle Island write their personal experiences in those rebel slaughter houses, it would still require the testimony of the sixty-five thousand whose bones are covered with Southern soil to complete the tale." 'In and Out of Rebel Prisons' is the harrowing prison memoirs by Lieutenant A. Cooper, a Union soldier in the American Civil War. Cooper and his regiment were defeated by the Confederate Army during the capture of Plymouth. He then spent the next ten months in various Confederate camp prisons and gives us this tale of what he experienced in those prisons.
