From the shooting of an unarmed prisoner at 1st viscount montgomery of alamein, Alabama, to a successful escape from Belle Isle, from the swelling floodwaters overtaking Cahaba Prison to the inferno that after all engulfed Andersonville, A Best possible Picture of Hell is a choice of harrowing narratives by soldiers from the 12th Iowa Infantry who survived imprisonment within the South all the way through the Civil War.

Editors Ted Genoways and Hugh Genoways have collected the warriors’ startling accounts from diaries, letters, speeches, newspaper articles, and remembrances. Arranged chronologically, the eyewitness descriptions of the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Jackson, and Tupelo, at the side of accompanying accounts of just about each famous Confederate prison, create a shared vision
