Cahaba Prison and the ""Sultana"" Disaster by William O Bryant
This is the story of Cahaba Prison where 5000 Union soldiers were interned during the latter part of the Civil War. The book discusses aspects of prison life and the ensuing maritime disaster when many liberated soldiers on their way home aboard the Sultana were killed when it exploded.
Bryant deftly links the Cahaba and Sultana stories, bases his work on a variety of published and unpublished sources, and reminds us that war's legacy often derives from other than the drums and trumpets of the battiefield- Journal of American History; ""This book... should be part of the library of any serious student of the American Civil War."" - Blue & Gray Magazine
William O. Bryant (1937-2006) was a longtime reporter, having worked for several newspapers and the United Press International wire service in various locations throughout the Southeast.
