The Prisoner of the Mill

War! Oh! how much of misery is expressed in that one word! It tells it's own tale of woe, blood, of broken hearts, and desolated homes, of hopes blighted, of poverty, and crime, of plunder, peculation, and official tyranny, of murder, and of sudden death. In short, it develops the baser passions of the human heart, changing a peaceful world into a world of woe, over which the destroying angel might well weep. A classic tale set amidst the struggles of the civil war.
