"B and Z of Covered Prisons tells the amazing adventures of Alonzo Cooper, who was held captive during the American Civil War. In this fascinating essay, the author shares his experiences and impressions of life in prison, as well as the incredibly moving stories of other prisoners. The book In and Out of Rebel Prisons is not only a moving testimony of war and captivity, but also an important document of the history of the United States of America."
