"' ", -,C, - 2C',O~ Dr. Martha Pallante, Committee Member Date ABSTRACT Constructed on the tip ofthe peninsula where the Potomac River joins the Chesapeake Bay, Point Lookout, Maryland served as the Union's largest prisoner of war camp for Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. During the two years of its existence, from July 1863, to June 1865, Point Lookout overflowed with inmates, surpassing its intended capacity of 10,000 to a population that at one point reached well over 20,000 captives. In all, over 50,000 men, both military and civilian, were held there. Prisoners, who sometimes lived sixteen or more to a tent, were subjected to habitually short rations, limited firewood in winter, and often inexperienced and trigger-happy guards. Further exacerbating the problems, in 1864 Federal authorities decided to cut the ration and clothing allowance to rebel captives throughout the North in retaliation for alleged mistreatment and torture of Union captives in the South.

Christopher Goodwin and Associates, Inc. 241 E. Fourth Street Suite 100 Frederick, Maryland 21701 FINAL REPORT June 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Historic Context for Department of Defense (DoD) World War H Permanent Construction combines two previous reports: Historic Context for Department of Defense Facilities World War H Permanent Construction (Hirrel et al., draft June 1994) and Methodology for World War H Permanent Construction (Whelan, draft August 1996). This project was designed to meet the following objectives: • To analyze and synthesize historical data on the military's permanent construction program during World War H. • To assist DoD cultural resource managers and other DoD personnel with fulfilling their responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHP A) of 1966, as amended. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to identity, evaluate, and nominate to the National Register of Historic Places historic properties under their jurisdiction. Section 110 Guidelines, developed by the National Park Service, U.S. Department ofthe Interior, direct federal agencies to establish historic contexts to identifY and evaluate historic properties (53FR 4727-46). • To develop a consistent historic context framework that provides comparative data and background information in a cost-effective manner, which will allow DoD personnel to assess the relative significance of World War II military construction.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

    Military These files were gleaned from the old St Louis County, MN USGW Website Compiled and reformatted into a fully searchable pdf file, December 2014. The Honor List of St. Louis County.--Of those who made the Supreme Sacrifice, it has been possible to collect some biographical data. The record is not complete, but is given in the hope that it will add something to existing printed record, and as a tribute to those brave patriots who willingly placed their personal interests second to those of the nation, and gave of their strength, even unto death, to defeat the power that sought to establish Might as Right. F. O. Abrahamson met death in France. He belonged to the Machine Gun Company of the One Hundred and Second Regiment of Infantry, Twenty-seventh Division of the American Expeditionary Forces. C. Albertson was twenty-six years old when he was killed in action in France in 1918. He was earnest in the cause, and had made many unsuccessful attempts to enlist before June 28, 1918, when he was accepted as a substitute for a volunteer who had been called but had failed to report for duty. Albertson left Duluth that day. The time was one of the darkest of the war and the need of man-power at the Western front was desperate. Apparently, Albertson was given practically no military training in this country for a few months later he was in France. E.P. Alexander was a young Duluthian of distinct promise. He was born in Duluth, November 4, 1891, son of Edward P.
