~JOB PRINTER,~ Nos. 46, 48, & 50 GREENE ST., BETWEEN GRAND AND BROOME, NEW YORK. ~STEREOTYPING, ELECTROTYPING~ AND BOOK-BINDING, DONE PROMPTLY, & IN THE BEST MANNER. BEYOND THE LINES; OR, A YANKEE PRISONER LOOSE IN DIXIE. ~A New Book of thrilling interest. By REV. CAPTAIN J. J. GEER,~ Formerly Pastor of George Street M. P. Church, Cincinnati, and late Assistant Adjutant-General on the Staff of Gen. Buckland. With an INTRODUCTION by Rev. ALEXANDER CLARK, Editor of the School Visitor. This is one of the most thrilling accounts of adventure and suffering that the war has produced. Capt. Geer was wounded and captured at the great battle of Shiloh, tried before several prominent Rebel Generals for his life, among whom were Hardee, Bragg, and Beauregard,--incarcerated in four jails, four penitentiaries, and twelve military prisons; escaped from Macon, Georgia, and travelled barefoot through swamps and woods by night, for 250 miles, was fed by negroes in part, and subsisted for days at a time on frogs, roots, and berries, and was at last recaptured when within thirty-five miles of our gunboats on the Southern coast. The particulars of his subsequent sufferings as a chained culprit are told with a graphic truthfulness that surpasses any fiction. The work contains a fine steel portrait of the author, besides numerous wood engravings illustrative of striking incidents of his experience among the rebels. Every Unionist--every lover of his country--every man, woman, and child should read this BOOK OF FACTS AS THEY ACTUALLY OCCURRED. The author has not only succeeded in making a narrative of exciting interest, but has ingeniously interwoven in the book many original and eloquent arguments in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war against Rebellion and Oppression. Just published on fine white paper, and handsomely bound in cloth. 285 pages. Agents wanted in every county and township in the Union, to whom extraordinary inducements will be offered. Specimen copies will be sent to any person for $1, postpaid, with particulars to Agents. ~NOTICES OF THE PRESS.~ "No narrative of personal adventure that has been published since the war began, equals this in interest. It presents in a still more vivid light the barbarism and cruelty of Southern rebels; for the account he gives of the treatment of himself and his fellow prisoners exceeds anything we have heretofore read."--_Philadelphia
