W. Day is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This memoir recounts Day's personal experiences as a soldier during the Civil War, specifically detailing his capture and life in various Confederate prisons. The narrative aims to provide insight into the hardships endured by Union soldiers, as well as depict the moral and physical struggles they faced in captivity. The beginning of the memoir sets the historical context by discussing the outbreak of the Civil War and Day's enlistment in the army. He shares vivid recollections of the Battle of Chickamauga, where he fought bravely but ultimately became a prisoner of war. The opening chapters introduce key events leading up to his capture, including a detailed and engaging description of the battle itself. As Day recounts his transition from soldier to prisoner, the narrative establishes a somber tone, building anticipation for the hardships that will follow and setting the groundwork for his harrowing experiences in southern prisons.
