| Summary | "Andersonville: A Story of Rebel Military Prisons — Volume 2" by John McElroy is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume details the harrowing experiences of Union soldiers held as prisoners in Andersonville, Georgia, during the American Civil War. The book provides a vivid portrayal of prison conditions, suffering, and the stories of fellow inmates, highlighting the brutality and inefficiencies of the Confederate prison system. The opening of this volume introduces a new influx of prisoners from the battle of Oolustee, capturing the weight of their arrival and the shameful military failures leading to their capture. As the narrative unfolds, it portrays the dire state of existing prisoners as they cope with cruelty and deprivation. Characters like Major Albert Bogle, a colored officer faced with indignity, and various new arrivals struggle against overwhelming odds, underscoring the chaotic environment within the prison walls. The beginning effectively sets the tone for the grim realities that follow, illustrating both the physical and psychological challenges faced by the soldiers as they navigate hardship, starvation, and the omnipresent threat of violence.
