About this ebook
His horse shot from under him, badly hurt from impact with a tree and unconscious, Lt. Hadley was left on the battlefield of the Wilderness, considered by his comrades to be mortally wounded.
When he awoke, he and his friend Homer Chisman were Confederate prisoners. In this true story from the American Civil War, you'll read Hadley's and Chisman's dangerous exploits as they escape, are recaptured, and escape again.
As with many Union escapees, they are helped along the way by southern African-Americans at the risk of their own lives.
"...without any emotion, said his master was very hard on them, did not give them enough to eat, and that “Massa would cut his head off, sho,” if he ever found out that he had given Yankees aid."
For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
