army during the Civil War. Founded in 1861 the camp saw 75,000 - 100,000 soldiers come through on their way to and from the war. One of the Camp's most notable achievements involved facing down feared Confederate raider, John Hunt Morgan. The camp
also included a small prisoner of war camp. Most prisoners remained for only a brief time before Northern authorities sent them to other POW installations located at Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio, or to Johnson-+s Island in Lake Erie. At least
thirty-one Confederate soldiers died in the camp. (Image 1)

 "Camp Parole Sept 8th 1863" dateline on a soldier's letter

they would give a n------- for a white man. Probably we will hear in two or three days...", F-VF, interesting letterrnDuring the civil war, to avoid being burdened with large numbers of prisoners, armies in the field would -½parole-+ soldiers that
they had captured, releasing them on their oath that they would perform no military service until formally exchanged for prisoners of war held or paroled by the other side. In the early part of the war, many paroled men would simply go home, or
elsewhere, not to be found when time came for the exchange. Originally intended as a -½camp of instruction,-+ a camp for paroled prisoners was established near Annapolis, Maryland, in the summer of 1862 and came to be known as Camp Parole. The camp
was gradually transformed into a way station for paroled men and exchanged prisoners moving to their homes or to other camps. Many remained as hospital patients until they died or were able to travel. Camp Parole was vacated by July 18, 1865. (Image 1)
