The Journal of Dr. Elias Cornelius, A Revolutionary Surgeon: Graphic Description of His Sufferings While a Prisoner in Provost Jail, New York, 1777-1778 is a historical account of the experiences of Dr. Elias Cornelius during the American Revolutionary War. The book, published in 1903, is a collection of journal entries written by Cornelius during his time as a prisoner of war in Provost Jail in New York from 1777 to 1778.The journal provides a detailed and graphic description of the harsh conditions and treatment that Cornelius and his fellow prisoners endured while in captivity. Cornelius describes the lack of food and water, the cramped and unsanitary living conditions, and the brutal treatment by the jailers.As a surgeon, Cornelius also provides insight into the medical care that was available to the prisoners, which was often inadequate and resulted in many deaths. He also writes about his own struggles with illness and injury while in captivity.Overall, The Journal of Dr. Elias Cornelius is a valuable historical document that offers a firsthand account of the suffering and hardships endured by prisoners of war during the American Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
