Albert Richardson (1833-1869) was a New York Tribune reporter who travelled to the battlefields to report on the Civil War and was captured as a Union spy at Vicksburg in 1863. After 20 months imprisonment, he escaped from Salisbury prison, and together with fellow journalist Junius Henry Browne travelled 400 miles through hostile country to safety, reaching the Union lines in January 1865. The book ends with the words and music to 'A Song for the "Nameless Heroine" Who Aided the Escaping Prisoners', by B. R Hanby.
