- catalog description "This book "is the story of a little known Confederate camp on the banks of the Alabama River. Located near Selma, Alabama, Cahaba Federal Prison held five thousand Union soldiers from the latter half of 1863 until the end of the war, but unlike such other controversial camps as Andersonville, and Rock Island, Cahaba's death rate was unusually low and its chief commander fair and humane. Cahaba Prison provides a vivid account of the lives of the prisoners, many of whom survived only to perish aboard the steamer Sultana, when it exploded while transporting newly released prisoners from Cahaba and Andersonville. The worst accident of any type in U.S. history, the Sultana disaster was largely ignored in the face of so many other events -- Lincoln's assassination and the collapse of the Confederacy among them... This book carefully constructs a balanced picture of life inside the prison and of the people who lived and died at Cahaba and on the Sultana" -- Back cover.".
