Summary "Sketches in Prison Camps: A Continuation of Sketches of the War" by Charles C. Nott is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This narrative encapsulates the experiences of Union soldiers during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on life in transport and prison camps. The book reflects themes of camaraderie, hardship, and the complexities of military life through the eyes of the author, who served as a colonel. The opening of the text introduces readers to the author's journey as he assumes command of a regiment on a transport ship headed for New Orleans. As the regiment prepares to depart, they experience a myriad of emotions from excitement to trepidation amidst practical challenges of life at sea, including cramped quarters and harsh conditions. In vivid detail, Nott captures the ambience on board as soldiers are ordered to their posts, the struggles with sea-sickness, and the relentless waiting for favorable winds. The passage effectively sets up an exploration of military life and personal trials against the backdrop of the Civil War, drawing readers into the era's historical context.
