Day 28
Re: Day 28
The space to be occupied by the prisoners is about six acres, enclosed by an earthwork three or four feet high, and with a ditch about five feet deep and six wide, to prevent any of the prisoners coming near to the grounds.
Re: Day 28
The part occupied by us is a low, sandy, barren waste, without the shadow of a single tree, and exposed to the chilly damp winds, with only a few tents with which about half of our number are protected from the severe cold
Re: Day 28
and the other half are lying on the ground between the tents to keep the cold wind from them as much as possible.
