The Daily Dispatch: August 7, 1862., [Electronic resource], Prison life at Fort Delaware. (search)
mon occurrence. A Dutch Provost Marshal, named Segebarth, excelled his brother brutes in maltreating the prisoners. A dungeon, made to accommodate three men, often contained fourteen, and their sufferings were very great. The fare was bread and a very small piece of salt pork twice a day, and bean soup of about the consistency of water. Nearly two thirds of the men had scurvy. The general determination of the exchanged prisoners is to be shot before they will again be taken and undergo the miseries of a Northern prison. Just before the prisoners left Fort Delaware the following order from the War Department was read: [Extract] When a general exchange shall be established those prisoners who are willing to take the oath of allegiance, and as to whose loyalty there is no question, will not be forced into the rebel lines. (Signed) C. P. Walcott, Ass't Sec'y of War. June 18th, 1862. Out of nearly 4,000 prisoners only a little over 300 availed themselves of this offer.
