Davis, director of the Wallace State College Library, and concerns some television programs of interest to genealogists and historians.

The History Channel will premiere "Eighty Acres of Hell", the story of the Union's Camp Douglas where 6,000 Confederate troops perished, on Sunday http://www.historychannel.com/ "To the Victor, Belongs the Silence." Hidden until now, we uncover an important and shocking chapter of the War Between the States. Although our nation is well-versed about the atrocities committed against Union POWs at Andersonville, Georgia, few have heard of the wholesale annihilation of Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglas in Chicago, Illinois (12,000 inmates were incarcerated, 6,000 never left). Unlike Andersonville, Camp Douglas had the resources necessary to house and care for its prisoners, but calculated cruelty, torture, and neglect by the US military conspired to exterminate Southern soldiers who entered this "80 Acres of Hell". But, Southern prisoners were not the only victims. Under martial law, prominent Chicago citizens were unjustly tried and imprisoned by a ruthless military tribunal. From 1862 to 1866, more than 6,000 Rebel prisoners and 14 civilians died at the hands of a corrupt and murderous system with tentacles to the White House". Please also note a film on "Lincoln" will be aired the following night, Monday the 16th.. It appears that this will not be the typical politically correct vignette but will investigate a number of his less than flattering behaviors frequently overlooked by Lincoln apologists. Some highlights of the controversial film can be viewed at http://www.historychannel.com/Lincoln/didyouknow.html My Great Great Grandfather Thomas Benjamin Smith spent a little over a year at this prison camp during the Civil War. Rex NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION BEING PASSED AROUND: Subject: Happy New Year! Cousins NEWS FLASH. 1852 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS SOLVE GENEALOGICAL MYSTERIES. It is New Year's Eve 1852 and Henry HYDENWELL sits at his desk by candlelight. He dips his quill pen in ink and begins to writes his New Year's resolutions. 1. No man is truly well-educated unless he learns to spell his name at least three different ways within the same document. I resolve to give the appearance of being extremely well-educated in the coming year. 2. I resolve to see to it that all of my children will have the same names that my ancestors have used for six generations in a row. 3. My age is no one's business but my own. I hereby resolve to never list the same age or birth year twice on any document. 4. I resolve to have each of my children baptized in a different church -- either in a different faith or in a different parish. Every third child will not be baptized at all or will be baptized by an itinerant minister who keeps no records. 5. I resolve to move to a new town, new county, or new state at least once every 10 years -- just before those pesky enumerators come around asking silly questions. 6. I will make every attempt to reside in counties and towns where no vital records are maintained or where the courthouse burns down every few years. 7. I resolve to join an obscure religious cult that does not believe in record keeping or in participating in military service. 8. When the tax collector comes to my door, I'll loan him my pen, which has been dipped in rapidly fading blue ink. 9. I resolve that if my beloved wife Mary should die, I will marry another Mary. 10. I resolve not to make a will. Who needs to spend money on a lawyer? REPRINTS.
