The US Sanitary Commission - as you read information about Union POW facilities, you occasionally will run across an organization called the US Sanitary Commission reporting about the problems with sanitation and other problems at these camps (for instance, it was their nagging about the conditions at Camp Douglas that got them to finally put in a drainage system at that camp). This site is a page with some notes of the history of that organization, with some information for re-enactors. http://www.netwalk.com/~jpr/index.htm Sue morgana@ghg.net
