Northerners and Southerners hastily prepared for a war that would surely end within a few months. Union and Confederate politicians failed to foresee four years of bloody conflict, nor did they expect to confront the massive prisoner of war crisis that this war generated. During the years 1861-1865, Union and Confederate officials held a combined 409,608 Americans as prisoners of war.1 The prisoner of war crisis is a significant part of Civil War history. However, historians have largely neglected the prison camps, and the men they held.

This town was settled before 1703, but the second general assembly of Kentucky granted the charter that year, and the town was named and then the corner­ stone of Cynthiana was laid. Fronl a few houses it has grown to the proportions of a city, and her chil­ dren think that here is the loveliest spot on earth.

  • Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery Rostrum Is Located at Latitude 39.943991, Longitude -83.076076 (North American Datum of 1983)
    HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY CAMP CHASE CONFEDERATE CEMETERY, ROSTRUM HALS No. OH-2-A Location: 2900 Sullivant Avenue, Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio The Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery rostrum is located at latitude 39.943991, longitude -83.076076 (North American Datum of 1983). The coordinate represents the structure’s southwest corner. Present owner: National Cemetery Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Construction date: ca. 1910 Builder / Contractor: Unknown Description: The rostrum is an approximately 30' long x 15' wide x 3' high base from which rise six square columns supporting a hipped roof. The base and columns are constructed of gray, rock-faced, cast-concrete blocks. The base blocks are set in regular courses; those in the columns have simulated tooled edges. The bottom quarter of each column is wider than the top three-quarters, creating the effect of a plinth. The roof structure is wood with an exterior covering of asphalt shingles. The roof beams rest on shallow concrete cap blocks at the top of each column. The rostrum has no ceiling and the exposed roof structure that has been painted dark green. Overlapping ceramic tiles that originally lined the roof ridge and hips are no longer extant. The rostrum has a poured concrete floor that covers the original concrete floor. A flight of three cast-in-place steps ascends to the floor on the rostrum’s west side. A pipe railing next to the steps is not original. Round holes 3"–4" in diameter on each column indicate where a substantial single-horizontal-pipe railing once ran around the perimeter of the rostrum.

  • The Developmental History of Civil War Prison Camps in Illinois and Indiana
    THE DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY OF CIVIL WAR PRISON CAMPS IN ILLINOIS AND INDIANA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION By TRAVIS ALLEN RATERMANN ADVISER-FRANCIS PARKER BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2009 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: The Developmental History of Civil War Prisons in Indiana and Illinois. STUDENT: Travis Allen Ratermann DEGREE: Master of Science of Historic Preservation COLLEGE: College of Architecture and Planning DATE: May, 2009 PAGES: 126 Many Civil War properties still exist, though only one prison camp from the western theater is still interpreted and little in the way of research has been conducted on the built environment of these sites throughout the North and the South. Therefore, addressing how the Civil War Prison Camps in Illinois (Camp Butler, Camp Douglas, Rock Island, and Alton Penitentiary) and Indiana (Camp Morton) developed throughout their use by the United State War Department is essential for those studying about Civil War-era prisoner of war camps. Currently, this topic is hidden in published documents regarding the entire site and other stories that may involve the camp. There are only remnants of the built environment that still remain on the original sites such as the small cell wall from the Alton Military Prison in Alton, Illinois. It is interesting to note how the camp developed structurally, through the materials and labor used. This project has the ability to become significant to historians who question why these sites were dismantled shortly after the war’s end and why very few of the structures that were built during this time period remained after the end of the war, especially when dealing with certain construction materials and their lifespan in the open environment.
