Or Through The War, and Thrice a Prisoner in Rebel Dungeons
By John W. Urban, Company D, First Regiment Pennsylvania Reserve Infantry. Edgewood Publishing Co., 1882. 484 pages, illustrated. Scene imprinted in black on the front cover and spine. Battle Field and Prison Pen imprinted in gold on the front cover. The pages are lightly and evenly age toned with the spine showing some very slight looseness, and minor wear. Overall in very good condition. This is 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 were known during all the wild vicissitudes of that terrible four years of internecine strife.
