POW Camps "Tragedy and Triumph"

[Laurie Verge]

Maybe this one book will inspire you to dig deeper into the tragedies of POW camps during the Civil War??? Each one has a tale to tell.

I recommend learning about Point Lookout Prison Camp here in Maryland (since I'm a native Marylander). It was a Union camp for Confederate prisoners plopped down in the heart of St. Mary's County - the southernmost point of Maryland and an area which was almost entirely sympathetic to the Confederacy (as was much of the state).
