About This Item
Gilman & Company, 1878. Hard cover. Good. Front and rear hinges cracked. Some fraying at head and tail of spine and corner tips. A simple school teacher from upstate New York, Willard Worchester Glazier (1841 â 1905) turned his thrilling Civil War experiences into several books and went on to become a well-known author and explorer. With the onset of the Civil War, Willard enlisted in the Harris Light Cavalry, the 2nd New York Cavalry Regiment as he had a horse. He was taken as a prisoner of war on October 18, 1863, nears Buckland Mills, Virginia, and sent to Libby Prison, which was notorious for their harsh conditions. In February of 1864, Glazier and about 100 other Union soldiers were successful in break out up but caught. He was transferred to Georgia, South Carolina, and back to Georgia, to Andersonville Prison in Sylvania. He was successful in escaping thanks to the assistance of slaves, returning to Albany in December of 1864. Willard reenlisted in February of 1865 as a First Lieutenant in the 26th New York Cavalry until the end of the war two months later. In 1867 he was promoted to Brevet General for his meritorious service. After the war he devoted his life as an author and gave lectures. In addition to his writings, Willard became an amateur explorer and documented his travels.
