Mr. RICHARDSON'S Unparalled Experience for Four Years.

IV. His confinement for twenty months in seven different Rebel Prisons.
V. His escape and almost Miraculous Journey by night, of nearly 400 miles, aided by Negroes and
Union Mountaineers of North Carolina and Tennessee through the enemy's country to our lines.
it abounds in stirring events never before given to the public, and contains minute details of
the escape, which have not yet appeared, including a description of DAN ELLIS, the famous Union
Pilot, and the “UNKNOWN GUIDE,” in the person of a Young Lady, who piloted Mr.
Richardson and his comrades by night out of a Rebel ambush.

powers, the publishers feel justified in predicting a work of unusual interest, containing more of
