Victims of General Order #38

I would like to thank Mr. Hoyt Cagle of the Alabama board for bringing this to my attention.

The following is one of the more gross injustices done to Confederate POW's during the war in my opinion.

Using google enter "Executions at Johnson's Island" and go to the second site www.executedtoday.com/tag/johnsons-island

There you will see a detailed account of their stories including eyewitness accounts and the last words of W.F. Corbin before his execution. I will wait for those interested in the account and not ruin it by elaborating further.
