The Guns of Libby Prison

The American Civil War was a brutal and bloody conflict that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In addition to the fighting on the battlefield, there was also a hidden war taking place behind the lines, in the prison camps where captured soldiers were held.

Civil War prisons were notorious for their appalling conditions. Prisoners were often held in overcrowded and unsanitary facilities, with little food or water. Disease was rampant, and many prisoners died from illnesses such as smallpox, dysentery, and typhoid fever. Those who survived the physical hardships often suffered from psychological trauma, as they were subjected to torture, abuse, and humiliation.
