United States Bonds Or Duress By Federal Authority: A Journal Of Current Events During An Imprisonment Of Fifteen Months, At Fort Delaware (1874) is a non-fiction book written by Isaac W. K. Handy. The book is a personal account of the author's imprisonment at Fort Delaware during the American Civil War. Handy was a resident of Maryland and a supporter of the Confederacy. He was arrested by the Union army and imprisoned at Fort Delaware for fifteen months, during which he kept a journal of his experiences. The book provides a detailed account of life in the prison, including the conditions, the food, and the treatment of prisoners. Handy also writes about the politics of the time and the events that led to his imprisonment. He discusses the issue of United States bonds and the controversy surrounding them, as well as the use of duress by the federal government to force people to support the Union cause. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of Confederate sympathizers during the Civil War. It is also a personal story of survival and resilience in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
