Point Lookout Prison Camp and Hospital: The North’s Largest Civil War Prison

Point Lookout Prison and Hospital tells the story of the North’s largest Civil War prison camp. Author Richard H. Triebe has gathered over fifty Confederate prisoner accounts and has woven their stories into the narrative of his book. The stories breath life into the words and give the reader a glimpse of what it was like to be inside Point Lookout prisoner of war camp. Triebe s book also contains the most detailed roster to date of the Confederate soldiers who died there including hundreds of fellow prisoners whose names do not appear on the Confederate memorial. Those forgotten men can now take their rightful place alongside their comrades who gave their lives for their country.
