Confederate Guards Overlooking Belle Isle Prison Camp, Richmond (1863)
Two views of the Confederate Belle Isle Prison Camp, which was located on said island in the James River, Richmond, c. 1863. The prison commandant, Major Thomas P. Turner (standing near center in first photograph), is seen posing with other Confederate guards under his command and possibly curious civilians on a hill overlooking a mass of Union POW tents. The cannon that some of them are posing with looks as though it is being aimed down at some Union POW tents. The tents in the far distance near the river are those of Confederate guards.
