Manning of the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment, detailing his valorous service during the American Civil War, his capture, and his time as a prisoner of war.

In this narrative, Manning's journey begins with his enlistment in the army at a young age, driven by patriotism and faith. The book chronicles his numerous battles and the harrowing experiences of imprisonment, including his time in infamous locations such as Andersonville. Manning's ordeal is marked by attempts at escape, encounters with bloodhounds, and the ongoing struggle for survival amidst dire conditions.
