A YANKEE PRISONER LOOSE IN DIXIE.
~A New Book of thrilling interest. By REV. CAPTAIN J. J. GEER,~
Formerly Pastor of George Street M. P. Church, Cincinnati, and late
Assistant Adjutant-General on the Staff of Gen. Buckland. With an
INTRODUCTION by Rev. ALEXANDER CLARK, Editor of the School Visitor.
This is one of the most thrilling accounts of adventure and suffering
that the war has produced. Capt. Geer was wounded and captured at
the great battle of Shiloh, tried before several prominent Rebel
Generals for his life, among whom were Hardee, Bragg, and
Beauregard,--incarcerated in four jails, four penitentiaries, and twelve
military prisons; escaped from Macon, Georgia, and travelled barefoot
through swamps and woods by night, for 250 miles, was fed by negroes in
part, and subsisted for days at a time on frogs, roots, and berries, and
was at last recaptured when within thirty-five miles of our gunboats on
the Southern coast.
The particulars of his subsequent sufferings as a chained culprit are
told with a graphic truthfulness that surpasses any fiction.
The work contains a fine steel portrait of the author, besides numerous
wood engravings illustrative of striking incidents of his experience
among the rebels. Every Unionist--every lover of his country--every man,
woman, and child should read this BOOK OF FACTS AS THEY ACTUALLY
OCCURRED.
The author has not only succeeded in making a narrative of exciting
interest, but has ingeniously interwoven in the book many original and
eloquent arguments in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war against
Rebellion and Oppression.
Just published on fine white paper, and handsomely bound in cloth. 285
pages.
Agents wanted in every county and township in the Union, to whom
extraordinary inducements will be offered.
Specimen copies will be sent to any person for $1, postpaid, with
particulars to Agents.
~NOTICES OF THE PRESS.~
"No narrative of personal adventure that has been published since the
war began, equals this in interest. It presents in a still more vivid
light the barbarism and cruelty of Southern rebels; for the account he
gives of the treatment of himself and his fellow prisoners exceeds
anything we have heretofore read."--_Philadelphia Evening Bulletin._
"The Captain's graphic account of affairs in the South during his long
captivity there will be read with great interest. The Introduction is by
Rev. Alexander Clark, which is sufficient in itself to warrant a large
sale."--_Philadelphia Daily Inquirer._ Address all orders to
