This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil War prisons were dismal places at best and the notorious Confederate prison camp at Andersonville, Georgia, produced incredible suffering and a war crimes trial for its commandant. After the war, and especially from the 1920s on, defenders of the Confederacy pointed to the Rock Island Barracks in Illinois as an "Andersonville of the North" where prisoners were starved and brutalized by guards under the command of Colonel Adolphus J.Johnson. "A Short History of the Rock Island Prison Barracks" provides a concise account of the establishment of the Rock Island Barracks as a camp for Confederate prisoners of war, the harsh conditions that typified such camps on both sides, and attempts at escape. It also demonstrates that certain Northern newspapers exaggerated the difficult conditions in the Barracks for political and sensation-seeking reasons and contemporary and later Southerners pounce upon such reports to dispel criticism of conditions at Andersonville. The author concludes that Rock Island Barracks "Among a bad lot...despite its shortcomings, was one of the best," yet "the camp induced suffering to a degree that makes modern society flinch, despite our memories of more recent camps that were infinitely worse."

Download or read book "Rats, Mice and Dogs Were Soon Devoured..." written by Michael Dayries Wynne and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Often Andersonville Prison in Andersonville, Georgia during the Civil War is called the worst prison of the United States. That may be technically true, but Andersonville then was part of the Southern Confederate States, therefore not a "U. S." prison. But Rock Island Barracks Prison was always a U. S. Military Prison and it was definitely the worst U. S. Prison in the history of the United States. This is not meant to be a formal history of the Rock Island Barracks Prison. The U. S. Army, Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command, Rock Island, Illinois compiled an "official" history, at least from the perspective of the creation of the prison and its' hierarchy. But this account of the prison by two prisoners, (Captain) John Boardman and Corporal Edward Fehrenbach, is the true documentary history of the prison from the perspective of the inhabitants, the Prisoners of War themselves. The reader will find this story, as well as the personal lives of Boardman and Fehrenbach to be quite unbelievable, riveting and overwhelming to read. These never before published accounts of what really happened at Rock Island Barracks Prison will become engrained in the reader's mind for all time." --back cover.

Book excerpt: Ashley Wilkes of Gone with the Wind helped to seal Rock Island's reputation as the "Andersonville of the North." McAdams separates truth from fiction about the Rock Island Barracks, the prison that held tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. Revealing that Rock Island was not without its problems—ignominious punishments, inadequate facilities, malnutrition, and lack of basic supplies—McAdams shows how Union officers sought to maintain humane conditions in the face of a war that raged on longer than anyone anticipated. Two dozen rare photographs round out the unflinching descriptions of prison life.
