About This Item
Pamphlet, 8vo, removed, illustrated, 86 pp. Probably lacking self wrappers, dbd, removed, some notes on title, last leaf folded in the lower corner; normal aging and browning; otherwise a good copy. This pamphlet is a U.S. Sanitary Commission report that includes four pretty dramatic illustrations taken from photographs of Union soldiers in a very emaciated condition. The photographs were taken shortly after the prisoners returned from Belle Isle. The commission appears to be headed by Valentine Mott (former head of the medical department at the University of New York) who was to find out if the sufferings of the POWs were a deliberate action of the Rebel Government, or were the result of matters a beyond their control. Another edition of this work was published in Philadelphia in the same year. A map of the Andersonville prison is also included.
