During the Civil War, a number of the Confederate Officers were imprisoned at this prison in Lake Eric near Sandusky, Ohio. This is a collection of their stories, escapes as seen from both the Union and Confederate viewpoint. Included is a listing of those imprisoned here with rank, name, location of residence after the war and place of capture. The last section also lists the names of the 206 who died in prison. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.
