A little more about our program...
"Gobbled Up: Taking Prisoners during the Petersburg Campaign"
Captured soldiers in the Petersburg Campaign faced brutal realities. Snatched up in sudden raids and skirmishes, thrown into prison camps. Starvation. Sickness. Mental strain. Each day a battle for endurance. A raw view of war’s cost, exposing just how much these men sacrificed in one of the Civil War’s toughest campaigns.
