Escape attempts from Salisbury
The drawing below illustrates a escape attempt led by prisoners that had been recently transfered from Andersonville. It was the winter, and they were upset with the lack of clothes, blankets, shelter, and food. The Confederate guards turned their canons on the Union men, and suppressed this particular escape attempt. Many were killed, and several hundred were wounded. The picture above is a list of rules for confederate prison camps.
