review 1: Two newspaper reporters go to cover a Civil War battle and find themselves arrested and thrown into a Confederate prison. And then transferred to a few more. The conditions were terrible but what really makes this so readable is the buoyant spirits of Albert and Junius. They had a real sense of humor, and it shows in their correspondence and diary entries. It was also a change of pace to read about the journalists, spouses, draft-dodgers, and other civilians whose lives were disrupted by a war they weren't fighting. Definitely recommended.
review 2: This book is the true story of Junius Browne and Albert Richardson. In 1863 they are both reporters from the New York Tribune trying to cover the Battle of Vicksburg. They get taken prisoner and are sent to sev... moreeral Confederate prisons before they make their escape. The author details several of their adventures while reporting on the Civil War. I was amazed at their perseverance while in the prisons.I found the book uplifting and amusing despite some of their hardships. less
