This is a big book with 455 pages and you can buy it from Amazon for $24.95 and free shipping with total order of $25 from Amazon.

I found much interest in two comments.

**  Randy Rogers wrote that his great great grandfather and two brothers had enlisted from Bladen County, N.C., and stationed at Fort Fisher together.  All three of them were captured and sent to Elmira.

One brother died there and is buried in the prison graveyard; the other brother was returned back to the James River, Virginia, where he was exchanged, probably from the poor health from the prison.

My gg-grandfather endured the atrocities of Elmira.  His records and those of his brothers are in the book.

**  Harold Singletary wrote that he liked the book because it involved his great great grandfather who was there when the battle ended and was taken to Elmira and survived that hell hole.  Lived to be 93 years young.
