I would like to bring to your attention what I believe is a unique book distributed by Ingram and other booksellers, Hiram's Honor: Reliving Private Terman's Civil War, ISBN 978-0615-27812-4.   This is a book dedicated to the descendants of Civil War soldiers and should be available to you in bookstores or on the internet.  Because of the factual breath of its coverage and the richness of the experiences portrayed, I believe Hiram's Honor would be of interest to you.
 
Written by an accomplished author and direct descendant, it is a largely unknown but riveting story about a soldier captured at Gettysburg and sent to Belle Island and Andersonville and survived 17 months!  Written in the first person in dramatic fashion, it is a true story reviewed by experts at Gettysburg, Manassas, Andersonville, and the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal.
