Product Information
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.Oscar Federhen was a new recruit to the 13th Independent Battery, Massachusetts Light Artillery, when he shipped out to Louisiana in the spring of 1864 to participate in the Red River Campaign. Not long after his arrival at the front, a combination of ill-luck and bad timing led to his capture. Federhen was marched overland to Tyler, Texas, where he was held as a prisoner of war in Camp Ford, the largest POW camp west of the Mississippi River. Thirteen Months in Dixie recounts Federhen's always thrilling and occasionally horrifying ordeals as a starving prisoner. The captured artillerist tried his hand at escaping several times and faced sadistic guards and vicious hounds before finally succeeding. But his ordeal was just beginning. The young soldier faced a series of challenges as he made his way cross-country through northeast Texas to reach Union lines. Federhen had to dodge regular Confederates, brigands, and even Comanches in his effort to get home. He rode for a time with Rebel irregular cavalry, during which he witnessed robberies and even cold-blooded murder. When he was recaptured and thought to be a potential deserter, he escaped yet again and continued his bid for freedom.Federhen wrote his recollections in lively engaging style not long after the war, but they sat unpublished until Jeaninne Surette Honstein and Steven Knowlton carefully transcribed and annotated his incredible manuscript. Numerous illustrations grace the pages, including two from Federhen's own pen. Thirteen Months in Dixie is not only a gripping true story that would have otherwise been lost to history, but a valuable primary source about the lives of Civil War prisoners and everyday Texans during the conflict.

Reviews
Oscar Federhen served just over a year in the Union army, but spent much of it, according to him, imprisoned, trying to escape, or joining Confederate guerillas marauding through Texas and Louisiana. His narrative of these experiences, though of questionable veracity, is gripping and at times, brutally unsettling. Editors Jeaninne S. Honstein and Steven A. Knowlton bolster Federhen's stories with helpful annotations, an extensive bibliography, and informative introductory material. There are also useful maps and Federhen's own drawings. It's a fascinating, if at times very troubling, account of the final days of civil war., Oscar Federhen experienced most of his service in the Union army on the run as an escaped POW making his way from a Texas prison camp to Union lines in Louisiana. His adventures before finally reaching Union lines make for one of the most gripping stories of a prisoner escape that I have ever read., A remarkable prisoner-of-war account that offers a vivid picture of Louisiana and Texas during the war's final year. And a captivating story as well!, Mark Twain, writing through his character Tom Sawyer, insisted that the difference between mere escape and evasion was the art of the effort. W. F. Oscar Federhen's postwar narrative shows that prisoners also thought a great deal about the style of outsmarting their enemies and evading recapture even if that meant--for a time--becoming one of them. Thirteen Months in Dixie offers a rare, and much needed, example of how prisoners remembered and imagined captivity and escape west of the Mississippi River., The vivid reminiscences of Union soldier W. F. Oscar Federhen are an excellent addition to understanding the north Texas home front during the Civil War. These Trans-Mississippi adventures of an escaped prisoner of war are both informative and entertaining. Federhen's notable exploits are worthy of close inspection., Thirteen Months in Dixie offers readers quite an exciting account, and they must marvel that Federhen was able to survive so many incredible hardships and still live to the age of eighty-eight. Those who enjoy reading first-hand accounts written by Civil War prisoners of war will find much to enjoy in this book.
