Synopsis

Elmira Prison Camp Roster is a thoroughly researched and detailed roster that contains 98% of all the Confederate soldiers sent to the prison. This three-volume set contains the soldier's name, rank, his company, when and where he enlisted, his regiment, where he was captured and his fate at Elmira Prison Camp.

One of the most important things to come out of this study was being able to assist those who are researching their relatives from the American Civil War. Many people today are certain their great-great grandfather or uncle went to prison, but they are not sure which prison he went to.
