I've been editing a novel written by my grandfather 60 years ago. At one point he describes a Confederate prison farm in Arkansas that pays its Union prisoners for their labor--modestly and in Confederate money. I assumed this was complete fiction although I recently came upon information about a camp in Texas in which Union soldiers earned money by manufacturing items to sell to the local populace. That's not quite the same as having Confederate military authorities pay Union prisoners-of-war, but it's similar. If anyone has heard of any instance in which Confederate forces paid Union prisoners-of-war for labor, I would be grateful to hear about it.
