Re: Roswell Women
In Response To: Roswell Women ()

This is a good article on the Roswell Women, by Webb Garrison. http://www.scvcamp469-nbf.com/roswellwomen.htm
I learned of this atrocity in High School History class.

BTW, the women, children, and a few men were sent to Marietta on July 10th. My great uncle Frank, on furlough from a wound received at Spottsylvania in May, was captured in Roswell the next day, July 11th. He was sent on basically the same routel to Marietta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville, and then to Camp Douglas. He was paroled in June 1865, and walked home. In that, he was luckier than the Roswell Women, since he was nevefr charged with treason. He did say his stay at Camp Douglas gave him rheumatism. Stan
