Once They Wore the GrayDorchester Publishing Company, Incorporated, 3. 1. 2003. - 246 страница For Sergeant Gil Metairie and other Confederate prisoners during the War Between the States, life in captivity was more dangerous than fighting in the front lines. Every day brought more casualties from weakness or disease. The deplorable conditions forced many prisoners--including Gil--to become "Galvanized Yankees," former Confederate soldiers who joined the Union Army to fight Indians out west. But life on the frontier was no easier for Gil and the others. They soon learned that no one there was glad to see them. |
