Caroline "Danske" Dandridge (nee Bedinger, 1854-1914) was born in Copenhagen, the daughter of America's first ambassador to Denmark. She took up writing in the 1880s, first poetry and then gardening articles before devoting herself to works of history. Her particular interest in American prisoners of the War of Independence arose from the fact that her own grandfather was imprisoned as a boy, and in this book first published in 1910 she compiled many first-hand accounts of the suffering endured.
