So I'm watching Camp Douglas, 80 Acres Of Hell on THC. I had a great-great grandfather that had fought with the Mississippi 1st Infantry Regiment at Ft. Donaldson, was captured, & sent to Douglas. He was one of only 7,000 who were parolled and sent back south in 1862. If he would have stayed he likely would have died from the small pox or from the poor conditions of the camp...No, him, no me.

That's just crazy :mack:

It's ironic though that his son (my great grandpa) died from flu pandemic of 1918.
