Summaries

The story of the most notorious Confederate prisoner of war camp in the American Civil War.

Sort of Civil War version of "Schindler's List" looks at the atrocities that occurred in the 1864 prisoner-of-war camp run by the Confederacy in Georgia. The prison originally planned to house 8000, eventually swelled to 33,000 which left little shelter, food or water for the prisoners and unclean conditions.—John Sacksteder <[email protected]>
