Octavo, vii, [1], [9] - 335pp. Publisher's decorated brown cloth, title lettered in gilt on front panel and spine. Complete with frontispiece portrait and ten full-page illustrations. Light wear at tips of the cloth, solid text block. Bookplate of American historian and author Peter Cozzens on front endpaper. (Nevins I, p. 188) (Eicher, 462) A fine example, scarce in this condition. Cooper was captured at Plymouth, North Carolina, on April 20, 1864. He was briefly held at Andersonville before being separated from the enlisted men and sent to Macon. His account follows his imprisonment at Macon, Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, and Danville, including an escape from Columbia and subsequent recapture. The appendix contains a substantial list of Union officers confined at Macon. Nevins calls the work a "fairly objective, above-average account" of Cooper's imprisonment and escape.
