Robbed of clothing, of money, of the soldier's best friend, his sheltering blanket, herded in shivering nakedness on the bare ground, deprived of every implement by which men of energy and spirit had soon bettered their lot, forbidden to cut in adjacent forests branches for shelter, or fuel to cook their coarse food, fed on a pint of corn-and-cob-meal per day, with some slight addition of molasses or rancid meat, denied all mental resources, all letters from home, all writing to friends, these men were cut off from the land of the living while yet they lived, they were made to dwell in darkness as those that have been long dead.
