| Summary | "Escape from the Confederacy" by Benjamin F. Hasson is a gripping historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the harrowing experiences of Hasson, a Union soldier, as he narrates his escape from captivity during the American Civil War. The work focuses on the challenges he faced while being held as a prisoner in Confederate camps and his desperate attempts to return to Union lines. The narrative begins with Hasson's capture and imprisonment at Belle Island, where he recounts the dire conditions endured by war prisoners. Through a mix of bravery, cleverness, and the solidarity of fellow escapees, Hasson details their audacious plan to overpower guards and flee from a moving train. The escape journey is fraught with peril; he navigates through swamps and avoids capture by bloodhounds and Confederate patrols. Along the way, he receives aid from sympathetic locals, including enslaved people, showcasing their courage and resilience. Ultimately, Hasson successfully reaches safety with the Union forces, reflecting on the terrifying experiences of war and the power of human determination.
