Scope and Content of Collection
One Civil War document (ADS), description of Camp Chase Prison, No. 3, Columbus, Ohio, by A. Davis, 1862. Davis notes that
inmates come from all walks of life, including farmers, lawyers, doctors, judges, criminals, sheriffs, gamblers, painters,
singers, and surveyors. "A ramble through this city prison would present scenes of card playing and praying, earnest talking,
deep arguments obscene jesting and profane swearing. The same walk show some writhing in pain. Others cooking and eating,
some trading and perhaps a man dying."
Camp Chase also is described in works such as:
- John Henry King, Three Hundred Days in a Yankee Prison: Reminiscences of War Life, Captivity, Imprisonment at Camp Chase, Ohio (1959).
- Philip Raymond Shriver, Ohio's Military Prisons in the Civil War (1964).
