~A New Book of thrilling interest. By REV. CAPTAIN J. J. GEER,~
Formerly Pastor of George Street M. P. Church, Cincinnati, and late
Assistant Adjutant-General on the Staff of Gen. Buckland. With an
INTRODUCTION by Rev. ALEXANDER CLARK, Editor of the School Visitor.
This is one of the most thrilling accounts of adventure and suffering
that the war has produced. Capt. Geer was wounded and captured at
the great battle of Shiloh, tried before several prominent Rebel
Generals for his life, among whom were Hardee, Bragg, and
Beauregard,--incarcerated in four jails, four penitentiaries, and twelve
military prisons; escaped from Macon, Georgia, and travelled barefoot
through swamps and woods by night, for 250 miles, was fed by negroes in
part, and subsisted for days at a time on frogs, roots, and berries, and
was at last recaptured when within thirty-five miles of our gunboats on
the Southern coast.
The particulars of his subsequent sufferings as a chained culprit are
told with a graphic truthfulness that surpasses any fiction.
The work contains a fine steel portrait of the author, besides numerous
wood engravings illustrative of striking incidents of his experience
among the rebels. Every Unionist--every lover of his country--every man,
woman, and child should read this BOOK OF FACTS AS THEY ACTUALLY
OCCURRED.
The author has not only succeeded in making a narrative of exciting
interest, but has ingeniously interwoven in the book many original and
eloquent arguments in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war against
Rebellion and Oppression.
Just published on fine white paper, and handsomely bound in cloth. 285
pages.
Agents wanted in every county and township in the Union, to whom
extraordinary inducements will be offered.
Specimen copies will be sent to any person for $1, postpaid, with
particulars to Agents.
