Sumario:Johnson's Island, in Sandusky, Ohio, was the only Civil War prison in the North to house Confederate officers almost exclusively, resulting in a distinctive prison culture. David Bush has led archaeological investigations at the prison site, and in this book pairs this with a reading of extant letters between one officer and his wife, providing unique insights into the trials and tribulations of captivity as actually experienced by the men imprisoned at Johnson's Island.
