Description
We were squatted on the sandy ground - vermin ladened sand - inside the prison stockade on Belle Island, discussing the probable destination of the prisoners then being daily removed from that place. Joseph Mor ton and Peter Deems of my own. Regiment and myself were of the party and the above remark was made by Morton and addressed to me. It was early in the month of March, 1864, and just after that famous raid to the vicinity of Richmond by Gen. Kilpatrick and C01. Ulrich Dahlgren. The daring troopers had even penetrated the defences of the city and thoroughly alarmed the Rebel authorities. Immediately steps were taken to remove the prisoners from Richmond to. Andersonville, Ga, and other remote points in the South out of the reach of res cue by Federal raiders.
