American Prisoners of the Revolution

'American Prisoners of the Revolution' by Danske Dandridge is a harrowing account of the sufferings endured by American prisoners at the hands of the British during the Revolutionary War. Dandridge presents personal accounts of conditions endured by U.S. prisoners, including those of soldiers and seamen who fell into the enemy's hands. This definitive work also details the treatment of prisoners in the prisons and prison ships in New York, Charleston, Philadelphia, Florida, and Halifax. This book is a solemn and affecting duty to the martyrs of the Revolution, telling the story of the young heroes who perished by thousands in British prisons and prison ships, unknown, unwept, unhonored, and unremembered.
