by Richard H. Triebe (Author)
Fort Fisher to Elmira contains a dramatic description of both battles of Fort Fisher. The Fort fell to Union forces in January of 1865 and closed the port of Wilmington, North Carolina to blockade running. A Confederate prisoners touching letter written to his wife caused historian Richard H. Triebe to launch an investigation into what became of the soldiers captured at Fort Fisher. Triebe's research provided the answers he sought but it also uncovered an even greater mystery. Of the 1,121 prisoners sent to Elmira Prisoner of War Camp 46% would be dead from disease within five months. Obviously something was horribly wrong at the prison camp, but what was it? Join the author as he explores the causes that led to such a high death rate and find out who was responsible for creating such unhealthy prison environment.
