Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richmond Prisons: 1861-1862; Compiled From the Original Records Kept by the Confederate Government, Journals Kept by Union Prisoners of War, Together With the Name, Rank, Company, Regiment and State of the Four Thousand Who Were Confined There They arrived at Manassas at nine o'clock in the evening, and were marched into an open lot, where they halted, sur rounded by thickly posted guards. About the time of their arrival, it began to rain, and in that place, without lights and unable to distinguish one from another, upon the floor covered with filth, without blankets or covering, officers of every grade passed the night. They were mostly strangers to each other, and silence prevailed. Among the number was Colonel Michael Corcoran, whom the severe wounds received the day before and the fatigue of the march had nearly exhausted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Jefferson developed the idea for the Virginia State Penitentiary and set the standard for the future of the American prison system. Designed by U.S. Capitol and White House architect Benjamin Latrobe, the "Pen" opened its doors in 1800. Vice President Aaron Burr was incarcerated there in 1807 as he awaited trial for treason. The prison endured severe overcrowding, three fires, an earthquake and numerous riots. More than 240 prisoners were executed there by electric chair. At one time, the ACLU called it the "most shameful prison in America." The institution was plagued by racial injustice, eugenics experiments and the presence of children imprisoned among adults. Join author Dale Brumfield as he charts the 190-year history of the iconic prison.

Download or read book Portals to Hell written by Lonnie R. Speer and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 1997 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most thorough study of Civil War POW camps, in which some 56,000 died. There are no villains here, though plenty of the inept, the shortsighted, the feebleminded, the sadistic. There is a chain of misperceptions leading to disaster, beginning with early expectations of few POWs and ending with both sides swamped with them and reduced to holding them in notorious pens like Andersonville in the south and Elmira in the north. Speer provides a history of each camp, however long it was in use; portraits of key figures and units; frequently grisly statistics and descriptions of camp life and conditions that are even grislier; and notes on the present condition of major campsites. No story for the weak-stomached, this is a telling indictment of how negligence led to mass death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, his first book, originally published in 1971, noted historian Emory M. Thomas offers an astute analysis of Civil War Richmond that remains unchallenged to this day. Blending official documents and city council minutes with personal diaries and newspaper accounts, Thomas vividly recounts the military, political, social, and economic experiences of the Confederate capital, providing a compelling drama of home-front war that, in Richmond's case, rivaled the spectacular events on the battlefield. One of the first studies in southern urban history, The Confederate State of Richmonddeftly demonstrates how Richmond responded to the intense demands of war and became a great capital city.
