I have a list of Confederate Dead compiled for marking graves at Rock Island. It is 38 pages. I went there about 10 years ago because my g-grandfather was imprisoned there although he did not die there. It was a very emotional experience although I had to ask in the gift shop to get information on the Prison. I think Rock Island was or is an army arsenal, so most of the area is devoted to that information. I walked through the cemetery and went to where the wooden barracks for the prisoners had been. I also got a booklet, "A Short History of the Rock Island Prison Barracks. If you write to Rock Island Arsenal Museum", Rock Island, IL 61299-5000 phone 309 782-5021, you possibly could get them to send you this information. The List of the Dead didn't cost anything, and the little "History", 51 pages, only cost a little.
