This was a featured title for one of our Book Talks in 2022!
Thirteen Months in Dixie tells a rollicking tale of adventure, captivity, hardship, and heroism during the last year of the Civil War—in the protagonist’s own words. After being hidden away for decades as a family heirloom, the incredible manuscript is finally available, annotated and illustrated, for the first time.
Honstein & Knowlton recount Massachusetts artilleryman Oscar Federhen’s always thrilling and occasionally horrifying ordeals as a POW, an escapee trying to reach Union lines, a soldier with Rebel irregular cavalry, and a mistakenly-identified deserter.
