Confederate prisons.
Libby, Belle Isle, Castle Thunder, and Danville prisons, in Virginia; Salisbury prison, in North Carolina; Andersonville and Millen prisons, in Georgia; and Charleston, in South
The prison-pen at Millen. Carolina, were the principal places of confinement of Union prisoners during the Civil War. In these prisons the captives sometimes endured terrible suffering from cold, hunger, filth, and cruel personal treatment.
Libby prison had six rooms, each 100 feet in length and 40 in breadth.
At one time these held 1,200 Union officers of every grade, from a lieutenant to a brigadier-general.
They were allowed no other place in which to cook, eat, wash and dry their clothes and their persons, sleep, and take exercise.
Ten feet by two feet was all the space each man might claim.
Their money, watches, and sometimes part of their clothing were taken from them when they went in. For a long time they were not allowed a seat of any kind to sit upon.

Longworth, Nicholas 1782-1863
Viniculturist: born in Newark, N. J., Jan. 16, 1782; in early life was a clerk in a store in South Carolina, but removed to Cincinnati at the age of twenty-one years, when that place was not much more than a hamlet.
He studied law, which he practised there for twenty-five years, and invested money in lands, long since covered by the rapidly growing city.
He finally turned his attention to the cultivation of grapes, first raising foreign vines and then the native Catawba and Isabella.
He produced very fine wine from the latter.
At one time he had 200 acres of vineyard and a wine-house.
He published Buchanan's treatise on the grape, with an appendix on Strawberry culture.
He died in Cincinnati, Feb. 10, 1863.
