These are fantastic! There is *always* something more to discover at Gettysburg!
Where did the Confederates keep the thousands of Union prisoners of war captured in the town of Gettysburg on July 1 1863? I suspect in a field to the west of Gettysburg behind Seminary Ridge but in my research have found little information on this handling of the high numbers of Union prisoners (including my ancestor in the 82 Ohio, 11th Corps).
