Could it possibly be Confedetate?
If so they're not POW's.

We had sewing machines during the CWThe store is selling sewing machines, so I'd say up North for sure. However, many of the exchanges took place at Vicksburg, so maybe that's where they're headed.
Yeah, I've heard that. When I notice their coats, I think maybe this is winter, not summer. So they could be new arrivals from Donelson, Shiloh, or Island No 10.We had sewing machines during the CW
Thanks a million for the info!See page 111 of "Privations of A Private" for photograph for it's description.
The pictured fellows are recently released Confederate prisoners from Elmira New York, at War's end. The person in the light hat and linen duster is the author of the book, Marcus B. Toney, 1st TN Volunteer Infantry, Co. B.

An indirect ancestor of mine, Lt. Tom Pointer of the 16th Ala Inf, spent the last 6 months of the war there. After he was released he stayed around long enough to cash a check (about one day) and headed home. He seems to have had access to funds on a regular basis.I rather be at Fort Delaware than at Hellmaria. If you where a officer prisoner at Fort Delaware you had your own quarters and nicer place than the barracks than with all the other nco's and privates. When I was there at the Fort fife and drum school we did it authentically. Loved that event.
