I am intrigued by this article as my great-great grandfather Adj. William B. Phillips was a Union officer who was was imprisoned at Camp Asylum following his capture at the Crater. I am planning to make a donation to the University of South Carolina private fund which is being raised to finance the proposed archaeology. Who knows, maybe they will locate a relic of my ancestor!

Mom used to tell us if we didn't behave, they'd take her to Bull Street. I was nearly a teen before I actually saw the State Asylum located on Bull Street and figured out what exactly she meant.
