Like so many Civil War soldiers, Simon Moses Dufur was an immigrant. Born in Quebec, he and his family settled in Vermont, where he enlisted the first year of the war in the 1st Vermont Cavalry.

After fighting with Kilpatrick and living through important battles, Dufur was captured. He spent many hellish months not only in Andersonville, but Pemberton, Belle Isle, Florence, and Libby prisons. That he survived at all was a miracle and he wrote a very moving account based on the diary he kept while incarcerated.

More than once he thought he would be hung or shot. But it was the horrors of the camps that nearly killed him.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
