Book excerpt: Released just this year, this fascinating recount and examination of life and survival in United States Prison Camps endured by Confederate Soldiers, this book gives rich enhancement of one's understanding of our nation's civil war history. As the title suggests, James Stallings takes the angle of focusing genealogical prison records to his home state of Georgia. However, the letters and recounts mentioned in this book, along with its historical aspects of the prisons themselves, allows the reader an excellent cross-section of Confederate Prisoners of War that suffered and died (as did their fellow countrymen in Confederate camps) in P.O.W. camps set up by the United States Army.
