"This book consists mainly of a series of Johnson's Island articles which appeared in the Sandusky Register beginning in September 1965, the centennial of the Lake Erie piracy, and continuing into 1965. Diaries and letters written by men who were prisoners on Johnson's Island, or who were members of the Island garrison, have been traced to libraries, historical societies and museums throughout the United States. All of them add color to the accounts of Island life, but all of them vary according to the age, education and tastes of their writers. as well as to the times when they were written."
