In 1862 Johnson’s Island prison, the Union’s sole military prison, was born. This title tells the story of the camp from its planning stages until the end of the war. Because the facility housed only officers, several literate diary keepers were on hand; Roger Pickenpaugh draws on their accounts, along with prison records, to provide a fascinating depiction of day-to-day life.
