In Response To: prison camp return ()

Post war prisoners north and south were given travel vouchers that were good for rail and/or boat transportation. The issuance of rations and/or money seems to vary greatly from prison to prison. There were several POW's at Morton unable to travel and ultimately died at the prison months after the war.
