Scrapbooks of Corpl. H.J. Peter
126th OVI Andersonville Prison Account |
Lot of two black buckram covered
ledgers, circa 1870's, keept by Corpl. Herman J. Peter, Co. E, 126th Ohio
Volunteer Infantry. The first ledge is 6 1/2 x 10 1/2" and has 63 pages
of printed material with Peter's personal anotations. This ledge is the
newspaper account in serialized form of Peters imprisonment in a variety of
Confederate prisons including Libby, Belle Island, Castle Thunder and
finially Andersonville. The account was printed in the Iron Valley Report
printed in Canal Dover, Ohio, and Peter was from Dundee, Ohio, located in the
central eastern part of the state. Herman was capture on Nov. 27th, 1863 at Mine Run, Va. and at first
was sent to Libby Prison in Richmond, but shortly after was sent o Belle
Island for the winter, where he and many others nearly or literally froze to
death. Later transfered to Castle Thunder, then to his final internment at
Andersonville. He gives a very detailed account of each and the autrocitied
commited by commanders and guards. The printed version has his personal
corrections in both ink and pencil and some anotations. I was unable to find
this accoun published outside of this newspaer version. The next ledge is 9 x
10 1/2" and has 105 pages of printed accounts of life in Souhern prisons
during the war, as well as many illustrations of the various monuments
erected at Andersonville to commemorate the fallen including the one for the
men of the 126th OVI, with Hemans personal notations on it. A truly grueson
account, only published in a little know small town Ohio newspaper. |
