Hello, I recently spent two days reading about my ancestor that was at Johnson's Island POW camp in Ohio. Cornell University has thousands of pages on line that are the official correspondence (both Union and Confederate) and you can learn a great deal - both about the conditions and the attitude of the men. The site address is: http://library5.library.edu/moa/moa_browse.html
You will see a split screen and need to scroll down on the TOP part to the "War of the Rebellion: a Compilation of Official Records of Union and Confederacy", after you get to that site you can scroll A LONG way down to Series Two, and the first seven or eight volumes are about the POW camps. There are thousands of pages in each one, If you go to the INDEX of the volume, and then look for the camp you are interested in, you can then put in the page number at the top of the screen and go just to those pages. I apologize that this is so long... but it is a very imformative site and maybe someone will be interested. GB
