"[Benson knew how to tell an exciting story. . . . Unusually descriptive; his book contains a host of little details."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch, "This book showers well-deserved attention on one of the South's truly noble sons. Benson, who served his homeland from Charleston to Appomattox, won even greater glory late in life when he championed the innocence of Jewish factory boss Leo M. Frank, convicted of murder in 1913 in Atlanta and subsequently lynched. Benson was a terrific character and this volume does him justice."--Steve Oney, author ofAnd the Dead Shall Rise, "His highly illuminating story serves as a building block to the larger issues, such as the maturation of innocent youth into seasoned veteran in the span of a few short years."-- Florida Historical Quarterly, "His highly illuminating story serves as a building block to the larger issues, such as the maturation of innocent youth into seasoned veteran in the span of a few short years."--Florida Historical Quarterly, "Benson's straightforward narrative is clear, concise, and, given his amazing exploits, remarkably free of boasting. . . . Benson's experiences as a prisoner of war elevate his memoirs above other first-hand accounts of the Civil War."--Southern Historian, "[Benson] knew how to tell an exciting story. . . . Unusually descriptive; his book contains a host of little details."--Richmond Times-Dispatch, "An outstanding memoir . . . Berry Benson's work is both truly personal, with its focus on such experiences as his capture, his life in Federal prisons, and his ultimate escape, and a fine narrative, for he tells story after remarkable story in a lively yet unromantic style. . . . Those who have not yet made his acquaintance will find him an intriguing figure and his book an engaging one."-- Civil War History, "[Benson] knew how to tell an exciting story. . . . Unusually descriptive; his book contains a host of little details."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch, "Long recognized as one of the outstanding memoirs by a common soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia."--Civil War News, "This book showers well-deserved attention on one of the South's truly noble sons.
