Anyone watching the History Channel? |

They are showing a program about a Civil War prison camp just outside of Chicago. I must say I've never heard of it before but apparently all sorts of atrocities were committed there. It should be an interesting show

I'd never heard of this prison, either, although I'd heard a lot about the Confederate prison, Andersonville. I guess it goes to prove that the history of wars is written by the winners.

2. Was it comparable to Andersonville? |

3. This TV show suggests it was at least as bad. |
