Page "Jonah Hex" Paragraph 13

The Union camp did not possess enough food in order to adequately feed all of its prisoners, so the captain manipulated Hex into staging a breakout.

Jonah found a shaft beneath his cell and used it to access the compound where Jeb Turnbull and the other prisoners were being held.

He aided them in trying to escape, but the Union captain was prepared for them.

In an event that history will know as the " Fort Charlotte Massacre ", the Union soldiers shot down every escapee in cold blood, including Jeb Turnbull.

Jonah found himself a victim of a Union bullet as well, but managed to survive long enough to kill the camp's captain.

Following the Fort Charlotte Massacre, Jonah patched himself up and moved out towards the Western territories.
