During the Civil War, each side accused the other of mistreating
prisoners of war. Today, most historians believe there was systemic
and deliberate mistreatment of POWs by one or both sides yet many
base their conclusions on anecdotal evidence, much of it from
postwar writings. Drawing on prisoner diaries and Union Army
documents (some newly discovered), the author presents a fresh and
detailed study of supposed prisoner mistreatment at Fort
Delaware-one of the largest Union prison camps-and draws some
surprising conclusions, some of which have implications for the
entire Union prison camp system.
