Ovid Futch’s story of the war’s prisoners, takes the reader through the journey all of the ins and outs of the lives of the captives taken by the Confederate Soldiers. Mr. Futch actually died before his book was published. He did many years of research before finally passing away, digging into books and records that had never been put out to the public. He went through all of the documents that even barely related to the book he was attempting to write and then sorted out what was actually first hand and true, from the things that had been passed down from generation to generation and been changed so many times it was hardly true anymore. He finally had his book together after many years of work, but passed away before he ever saw it published.
1) Isaac Hourwich’s purpose in writing this book is to oppose the claims of the Immigration Commission as there are also many stereotypes of Immigrants created by Native born Americans and also challenge the findings of the Immigration Commission.

Most of the native-born Americans fear that as the rate of Immigration increases, it might hurt the American wage-earners. Therefore, there is an assumption that most American workers made was that “undesirable” Immigrants should be out of the country and keep the American workers busy. (82)
