To Which is Added an Appendix, containing the Name, Rank, Regiment, and Post-Office address of Prisoners. Illustrated. Published by H.E. Goodwin, Hartford, Conn., 1867. At Buckland's Mill, Captain Glazier's horse was shot from beneath him and he was ridden over in a Confederate charge which knocked him senseless. On regaining consciousness, he found himself in Confederate hands as a prisoner of war. Fourteen months of incarceration within Confederate prison camps followed together with a daring escape and bid for freedom, recapture, and trial as a spy. Captain Glazier kept a diary or journal from the day of his capture and concealed it in the lining of his jacket in his escape attempts (he was recaptured twice). His prison locations included Richmond (Libby), Danville, Macon, Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, Belle Isle, Millin, Salisbury and Andersonville. He describes arrival of prisoners, plans of escape, numerous and varied incidents of prison life, the author's escape from Columbia, S.C. and his recapture, subsequent escape and recapture, trial as spy, and final and successful escape from Sylvania, Georgia.
