how can you be expected to be believed when you spout damnyankee apologist LIES!
did you really believe that the WAR CRIMINALS that ran the PLPOWC would admit their CRIMES, which were committed by the guards & officers there???
SADLY, for the damnyankees & their apologists, there are NUMEROUS sources where persons who were assigned to PLPOWC wrote home about their LAWLESS & intentionally cruel treatment of POWs.
furthermore, each time the area floods (which is often, given it's location/low elevation!), more bones/skulls wash up;those bones are the remains of MURDERED POWs, whose bodies were NOT interred in the POW cemetery AND whose numbers are NOT admitted as true deaths.
the number of MURDERED POWs was AT LEAST 15,000 and may have been as high as 20,000, according to numerous official MD/US government sources.
FYI, the LIARS can't even get their stories straight;official signs at the site state that about 4500, about 5300 AND about 6100 died in that hellhole. which figure do you believe???? NONE of the figures/all of the fiqures????

Calm down and take your medicine.
There are very good records for the Point Lookout camp in the Clements Library at the University of Michigan. You might want to take a look at some of them. They are not 'Yankee" lies or forgeries. You might be surprised by what is in those records.

As for your careless allegation regrding the bones being found at Point Lookout, you might consider that the prisoner's cemetary has been moved 3 times since 1866 because of erosion. Given the crude methodology used in exhuming the remains back then, it is not at all unexpected to find forgotten remains washed up on occasion at the former burial site. Also, some of the remains found over the years were of pre-historic Indians, NOT Confederate prisoners. The number of deaths at Point Lookoput is a number derived from the records of the camp and despite your unfounded allegations otherwise, this number has never been proven not to be reasonably accurate.
