dc.description.abstract	"The subject includes unparalleled experience among the Rebels. The Lecturer was conscripted three times but sturdily refused to bear arms, in cgnsequence of which, various punishments were inflicted. The most important of which were seventeen stabs from the bayonet. Five months were spent in prison, during which time the lecture to be delivered was written." Pencil marks indicate that admittance was 20 cents, at the Villaqe Hall on March 16, presumably in Little Compton, R.l. The Confederacy established conscription on April 16, 1862, a full eleven months ahead of the Union, despite Southern state sovereignty beliefs, placing conscription power in the hands of the central government. Vestal resisted the call three times and evidently barely lived to tell about it.	en_US
