Private Hiram Terman was captured at Gettysburg, sent to Andersonville--and survived. The author, who is Hiram's descendant, revisits the camps, battlegrounds, and prisons, to write as if he were Private Terman of the 82nd Ohio Infantry.
Based on over ten years of research where I revisited camps, battlefields, and prisons, I wrote this fact-based novel in the first person as if I were Private Hiram Terman of the 82nd Ohio Infantry. It was quite an experience, almost a metamorphosis of sorts.
Walt Whitman cautioned us that “the real war will never get in the books” and that “the fervid atmosphere and typical events of those years are in danger of being totally forgotten.” This book is an attempt to capture some of the “fervid atmosphere and typical events” in the Civil War experience of one young Ohioan, and it succeeds admirably in this reviewer’s opinion.

Captain Wirz sat on his mount just before the steps steps leading up to the depot platform which in the night sky reminded me of a gallows. The flames of a nearby fire revealed his head and drooping shoulders. His cold steel eyes appeared lifeless, hollow as he watched the prisoners climb the stairs and board the cars. An essence of death enveloped him as if the misery of the stockade had flowed over the walls and into his soul.

I, like the country, was neither healed nor whole but the storm was almost past and even now the seeds of reconcilation swelled in the blood-dampened soil.
