Prisons/Prisoners
Libby Prison, Richmond
The majority of the following were taken from the Rebel adjutant's book at Libby Prison, during the winter and spring of 1864, or noted by A. O. Abbott and/or Willard Glazier during their stays in prison. They were later removed from Richmond to Danville in the early part of May, and later to Macon, Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh and Goldsboro. (Contributed by Wendy Ingleston)
