In the very short time I have been on this Civil War list (about 2-3 days) I am beginning to understand the Civil War and why this is a sensitive area of our history that is not fully explored. I have a picture of the monument for Pea Patch Island which contains a roster of Confederate men who fought and died at Pea Patch (DE). Many soldiers tried to escape by swimming across to the NJ side, most of them were shot. It is in a very serene park in NJ across from Pea Patch Island. The prison is dank and dark. Jean
