"Shortly after the firing on Fort Sumter in 1861, 29-year-old Robert Sneden joined the 40th NYVolunteer Infantry. Sneden's prewar career as an architect/engineer attracted the attention of higher officers, and he was detached as a cartographer for most of his brief military career. He saw action at 2nd Manassas & on a few other occasions. On November 27, 1863, Sneden was seized by rebel troops led by Mosby and& hustled south to a Richmond prison. In early 1864, he was among the first batch of Union prisoners sent to notorious Andersonville, Ga., where more than 13,000 prisoners died. After transfers to other Southern camps, Sneden was finally exchanged in December 1864. Throughout his army career, Sneden kept a journal and sketched numerous sites of his experiences. Although the journal itself has disappeared, a journal-like postwar memoir of some 5,000 pages based on his wartime experience & heavily illustrated by him has been found. The Editors of the Virginia Historical Society (which owns the Sneden collection), have excerpted the more important sections of this compellingly straightforward account & provided more than 70 color illustrations of battle fields, city layouts and other scenes that caught Sneden's precise, cartographic eye. It also is the only fully illustrated account of life inside Andersonville" Illustrated with Sneden's drawings many in full color. Internally tight & unmarked.
