James E. Stallings, Sr., Author and Historian, announces a recently published book entitled GEORGIA'S CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS WHO DIED AS PRISONERS OF WAR 1861-1865. The hardback book has 399 pages and is divided into two parts.
Part One, The Prisons, is devoted to describing the history and conditions of nine major United States prisons where Confederate soldiers were incarcerated. These chapters also include testimonies by prisoners as well as official communications between the prison camp commanders and their superiors regarding the operation of the prisons.
Part Two, The Hospitals, is devoted to states where the United States had field and general hospitals. Captured, wounded and sick Confederate soldiers were treated in these hospitals but would ultimately die before they could be transferred to a prison facility.
The final chapter lists those soldiers who could not be identified as dying in specific prisons or hospitals. The conclusion of the book gives official insight into why some events probably caused unnecessary deaths.
The information on each soldier is arranged in table form with the following: Name, Rank, Unit, Where Captured, Date of Death, Cause of Death, Grave # (if identified), and Research Reference.
The price of the book is $29.95 plus $6.00 shipping. Georgia residents will need to include state sales tax. Please e-mail for ordering information.
