John James Geer, Beyond the lines: A Yankee prisoner loose in Dixie, Preface. (search)
mon jails; how, escaping from these, and in company with Lieutenant A. P. Collins, I made my way to the swamps; how we lived in these malarious marshes for three weeks; how we were hunted with bloodhounds; how we were assisted by the slaves in our flight, and lastly, how, being recaptured, we spent weary months in confinement, and were finally, released on exchange from our dreadful captivity. To all those friends who have cheered him since his return home with kind words and deeds, the author begs leave to extend his warmest thanks,--but more especially to Rev. Alexander Clark, Editor of Clark's School Visitor, who revised and arranged the Manuscripts for the press, and to whose scholarly abilities this volume owes so much. He desires also to testify to like kindness on the part of Rev. W. B. Watkins, A. M., and Milo A. Townsend, Esq., of New Brighton, Pennsylvania, whose friendship has laid him under a debt of grateful remembrance. J. J. Geer. Springfield Ohio, June 8, 1863.

One gentleman remarked A man has taught this school heretofore, and we gave him twenty-eight dollars a month; but we should not give a girl more than sixteen. There was something in his manner and tone so insulting that her pride compelled her to scorn the place she needed, and, dr
