Magnificent!!!


Side Note: My Great-Grandfather (we have long generations) was in the 10th NY Cavalry. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Gettysburg, imprisoned at Belle Isle in the middle of the James River, Richmond, Va. and eventually paroled to Annapolis, Md. after the winter and the loss of approx 1/2 the prisoners at Belle Isle.

There is an area in Annapolis, that is called Parole (near the Annapolis Mall) as a result of the over crowding at St. John's College of paroled Union prisoners. The Union rented farm land in the outlying area of Annapolis to handle the overflow, hence the name Parole has stuck to that area through today.

Thanks again Rick, your articles are priceless.
