		Prisoners from Fort Donelson arrived at Camp Douglas in February, 1862, and within one year the monthly mortality rate was at ten percent, a rate unsurpassed by any other prison in the North or South.
		Three traits distinguished Camp Douglas from other Northern prison camps: high mortality rates, extreme acts of cruelty, and a low official count of prisoners who died compared to documentation from other sources Historical articles and research texts have publicized these facts, but somehow Camp Douglas has escaped the notoriety of Andersonville.

	Jazz Concert Review Dave Douglas gives Chicago a special Valentine @ jazzreview.com
		I’m not certain.] It was enough of an Event that despite the cold (and it surely was, indeed), there was a line around the corner from the Green Mill (in the city's Uptown/Andersonville section, near the Red Line El) waiting to get in...and there was still a line even after the first set was done.
		Douglas brought with him the selfsame (working) quintet as on his latest (& maybe greatest) album Strange Liberation (Bluebird Jazz), minus, alas, guest artist Bill Frisell.
		Bassist James Genus and drummer Clarence Penn always kept the rhythms solid, even when they were going “against the grain” — the horns would play tight, singing Blue Note-style moldy lines and they would play a little slower or a little uneasy, a tiny bit dissonant in contrast to the horns’ brisk bop blitz.

	The Ugly Rock "Cenotaph" in Chicago's Oak Woods Cemetery - Insult to Camp Douglas Confederate POWs
		Camp Douglas was worse than Andersonville...Confederate POWs were deprived of blankets, food and medicine out of cruelty and greed, and sometimes for punishment---NOT because federal guards didn't have the materials.
		Andersonville is now a National park while Camp Douglas is relatively unknown...as the saying goes, "To the Victors go the silence." Chicago likes to brag that they have the largest Confederate monument in the North...but they don't tell the whole story of the torture, cruelty and sadism practiced by the guards there.
		Those who died at Camp Douglas were buried at Potters Field outside the POW Camp and later moved to Lincoln Park and later reinterred in a mass grave at Oak Woods Cemetery outside Chicago.
