on Belle Isle : Diary of a Civil War Pow
by Jacob Osborn Coburn, Don Allison - Hell on Belle Isle tells the story of the life and suffering of a soldier, whose heart Don came to know -- but whose face he had never seen. In all of his searching, Don was never able to find a picture of Sgt. Coburn. "One weekend, Don and his wife, Diane, were traveling through Southern Michigan visiting antique shops. They were nearly back home in Ohio when they noticed a small antique shop along the road. Was it divine intervention that made them pull into the parking lot even though they had said they were too tired to stop and anxious to get home? Was it just luck, that as they prepared to leave the shop after a brief visit, Don's eyes made contact with eyes of a Civil War soldier's picture that turned out to be Osborn Coburn? He knew it was time to finish the book.
