Fourteen Months In American Bastiles

""Fourteen Months In American Bastiles"" is a non-fiction book written by F.K. Howard, originally published in 1863. The book is a first-hand account of the author's experiences as a political prisoner during the American Civil War. Howard was a Canadian who had been living in the United States and was arrested by Union authorities for his alleged involvement with Confederate sympathizers. He was held in several different prisons, including Fort Lafayette and Fort Warren, where he endured harsh conditions and mistreatment by prison officials. The book provides a detailed and vivid description of life in these prisons, including the daily routines, food, and interactions with other prisoners. Howard also writes about his efforts to secure his release and the support he received from fellow prisoners and sympathetic individuals outside of the prison system. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the treatment of political prisoners during the Civil War and the broader issues of civil liberties and human rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
