Camp Morton, 1861-1865: Indianapolis Prison Camp (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Camp Morton, 1861-1865: Indianapolis Prison Camp
This creek was usually dry in the summer, but at the time of the spring rains it became a turbulent stream, overflowing its banks and doing damage all out of proportion to its size. During the legislative session of 1837, commissioners were appointed to study the situation and to construct a ditch large and deep enough to accommodate the water of this small stream.1 The work consisted mainly of straightening and deepening the existing bed to allow better flowage and thus do away with the occasional stagnant places which in summer became evil-smelling mudholes and breeding places for the mosquito. This improvement was called the State Ditch, and later, by the prisoners of Camp Morton, the Potomac.
