[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1011791, member: 694"] Or Camp Douglas. By the end of 1864, the Official Records showed that 2,235 prisoners had died at Camp Douglas but Levy states this may be 967 short of the true figure.[225] Another 867 died in 1865, making it the worst short period for mortality of prisoners at the camp.[226] The official death toll at Camp Douglas has been put at 4,454.[227] Others have estimated that from 1862 through 1865, more than 6,000 Confederate prisoners died from disease, starvation, and the bitter cold winters (although as many as 1,500 more were reported as "unaccounted" for), based in part on an 1880's memorial in Chicago's Oak Woods Cemetery which states that 6,000 Confederate dead (4,275 known dead) are buried there in a mass grave. On the other hand, it was discovered that unscrupulous contractors buried some crude empty coffins in the relocated graves to increase their profits. [/QUOTE]
