| Summary | "The Captured Scout of the Army of the James" by H. Clay Trumbull is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and experiences of Sergeant Henry H. Manning of the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment, detailing his valorous service during the American Civil War, his capture, and his time as a prisoner of war. This work serves as a tribute to Manning's courage, faith, and the sacrifices made by countless soldiers during the conflict. In this narrative, Manning's journey begins with his enlistment in the army at a young age, driven by patriotism and faith. The book chronicles his numerous battles and the harrowing experiences of imprisonment, including his time in infamous locations such as Andersonville. Manning's ordeal is marked by attempts at escape, encounters with bloodhounds, and the ongoing struggle for survival amidst dire conditions. Throughout his challenges, he maintains a steadfast faith and a commitment to serving both his country and God. After finally being released from prison, he seeks to fulfill a vow made to God while in captivity, eventually leading to his decline in health and untimely death. Trumbull’s account not only honors Manning’s bravery but also reflects on the broader human experience of love, sacrifice, and faith amidst the horrors of war.
