About this book
Narratives that once circulated separately, and are now scarce, are gathered here on the sufferings of Americans held captive by the British during the Revolution. Danske Dandridge compiled and abridged them, and dedicated the book to the memory of her grandfather, Lieutenant Daniel Bedinger of Bedford, Virginia.
Chapters cover the prisons of New York, the Old Sugar House and the prison ship Jersey, with accounts by Jonathan Gillett, Alexander Graydon, Ebenezer Fox, Andrew Sherburne and Captain Dring, and a chapter on Benjamin Franklin and others on the subject.
