The first part of the book details the Fort Pillow Massacre, which occurred on April 12, 1864, when Confederate troops attacked and killed Union soldiers, many of whom were African American, after they had surrendered. The second part of the book focuses on the treatment of Union prisoners of war who had been released from Confederate prisons. The committee's reports provide a detailed account of the events, including witness testimony and official documentation, and offer insight into the conduct of the war and the treatment of prisoners.
