23. Point
Lookout Prison Camp for Confederates
Point Lookout is located on the east coast of the United States of America
in the state of Maryland. Click on the Colored U.S. map to the left to see
a more detailed map locating Point Lookout.
Point Lookout POW Camp (Camp Hoffman) was established after the Battle of
Gettysburg to incarcerate Confederate prisoners. It was in operation from
August 1863 through June 1865. Being only 5' above sea level, it was
located on approx. 30 acres of leveled land at the southern tip of
Maryland, in St. Mary's County, and surrounded by water on three sides by
the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. It was the largest Union prison camp
for Confederates.
Before the war, Point Lookout was a fashionable resort hotel and a summer
bathing place with over a hundred cottages where the elite spent their
leisure time. In 1862, with erection of additional buildings, it became a
military hospital for the care of union soldiers, an imprisonment for
Maryland citizens who were Southern sympathizers, as well as a supply depot
for the Army of the Potomac. In August 1863, the large building with
outbuildings arranged in spoke fashion (Hammond Hospital), became the care
center for wounded/sick Confederate prisoners as well as for union men.
During the two year span of operation, Point Lookout saw approx. 52,000
POWs pass through her gates. These were military and civilian, men, women,
and children. It's also interesting to note that the youngest POW at Point
Lookout was Baby Perkins. He was born there. His mother was captured at the
Battle of Spotsylvania with her artillery unit.
Prison conditions were deplorable. Rations were below minimal, causing
scurvy and malnutrition. Prisoners ate rats and raw fish. It's recorded
that one hungry Rebel devoured a raw seagull that had been washed ashore.
Soap skim and trash peelings were often eaten when found. Lice, disease,
and chronic diarrhea often resulted in an infectious death. Prisoners were
deprived of adequate clothing, and often had no shoes in winter or, only
one blanket among sixteen or more housed in old, worn, torn, discarded
union sibley tents. Even the Point's weather played havoc with the
prisoners. Because of it's location, it's extremely cold with icy wind in
the winter and a smoldering sun reflecting off the barren sand in summer
was blinding. High water often flooded the tents in the camp area. The
undrained marshes bred mosquitoes. Malaria, typhoid fever and smallpox was
common. The brackish water supply was contaminated by unsanitary camp
conditions. There was a deadline about 10' from the approx. 14' wooden
parapet wall. Anyone caught crossing this line, even to peek through the
fence, was shot. Prisoners were also randomly shot during the night as they
slept, or if they called out from pain.
Mjr. Brady was the Provost Marshall and Mjr. Gen. Benjamin (Beast) Butler
would review the prison camp. Many times he galloped through the crowd of
men, hitting them as he sped by. The sixty gun Minnesota was within a short
distance from the shore to guard the prisoners.
Among the sites at this prison were: 1830 Lighthouse, Hammond Hospital,
the Nuns housing, 3 forts, guard quarters, officers quarters, stables,
contraband quarters, union quarters/tenting area, burying grounds, smallpox
hospital, stockade, etc.

Although it is estimated that over 14,000 prisoners died at Pt. Lookout,
at present only a near 3,384 are accounted for as buried in the Point
Lookout cemetery. Their graves have been moved twice since the original
burial. They now rest in a mass grave under an 85' towering obelisk
monument erected by the federal government. This was the first monument to
Confederate soldiers! Huge bronze tablets circling this monument depict
names of those so far recorded. Also in this well kept cemetery is a
smaller 25' monument erected by the state of Maryland to the memory of the
prisoners.

Every June, usually the second weekend, descendants from forty states of
these Confederate POWs gather on this prison ground to honor their ancestor
and his endurance of prison life. We participate in the SCV memorial
service by presenting floral tributes and homeplace soil at the monument.
Some of our members belong to "Lee's Miserables". This group participates
in the living history area, portraying POWs. That night, we have our annual
meeting with a guest speaker. On Sunday, we attend worship service on the
same prison grounds as did our ancestors when they were there.
Today, this prison site is a beautiful, well maintained campground that
offers among other things, boating, fishing, and picnicking. A museum on
site displays artifacts found on the grounds and several pictures of our
POWs who were in Point Lookout Prison Camp. This is run by the state park
service.

Louisville Scene ~ The Courier-Journal, online
http://www.louisvillescene.com/arts/visual/2003/20030713troye.html,
Alexander Keene Richards (1827-1881) of Georgetown, said to be the richest
man in Kentucky before the Civil War, with a then-astronomical income of
$200,000 a year. He pursued a passion for improving thoroughbred blood
stock on his 600-acre Blue Grass Park farm, inherited from his grandparents
who raised him after his parents died in the 1833 cholera epidemic.
The pair (Troye and Richards) departed in 1855 for their desert
expeditions. Richards returned to Kentucky with a new selection of horses
14 months later. (The jury is still out on whether his experiments were
beneficial to the breed.) Troye remained in Antwerp to finish his Holy Land
series, which art historians now consider of equal merit to his animal
paintings.
Richards, a Southern sympathizer with holdings in the South, especially in
New Orleans, lost his fortune during the Civil War, probably due to
destruction of property.
He sent his bloodstock out of Kentucky for safety but is said to have
supplied horses to the John Hunt Morgan raiders. He also escorted Gen. John C. Breckinridge out of Kentucky driving a pair
of white Arab mares in 1861 when the general was likely to be arrested.
Richards declared bankruptcy in federal court in Winchester in 1868. His
Unionist friends bought Blue Grass Park back for him, and Troye died there
during a visit in 1874. His grave in Georgetown Cemetery is marked with an 8-foot-tall sculpture
of a Greek muse designed by his patron, Richards. Richards lived on at Blue Grass Park, which burned a few years before his
death in 1881. He left a widow and three daughters. Hereinafter cited as Louisville Scene.

History: Keene Richards' Arabian Importations" ALEXANDER KEENE RICHARDS
(1827-1881)
Richards came of a long line of distinguished ancestors. His mother,
Eleanor Keene, was a direct descendant of Richard Keene who in 1641 came
from Surry, England, to Maryland. His father, Dr. William Lewis Richards,
of the Virginia Richards, was through his mother a descendant of the
Marquis de Calmes, a Huguenot emigrant to Virginia.
Richards was a man of exceptional culture, and conversational charm.
Possessed of large means he was widely travelled and thus able to inform
himself at first hand on the subjects that interested him, especially blood
horses of which he was a successful breeder and racer, owning many of the
most renowned sires and dams including "Glenco" and the famous mare
"Peytona." Realizing that the Eastern blood was the fountain head of all
excellence in horses he determined to go to Arabia for pure desert-bred
blood to strengthen that on which the Thoroughbred was founded.

103. "Mr
Alexander Keene Richards died of pneumonia yesterday at his farm, called
Blue Grass Park, near Georgetown, Ky., in the fifty-fourth year of his age.
He was born in Scott county, Ky., on the 14th of October 1827. Mr. Richards
passed through all the scientific departments at Bethany College, Virginia,
and a full term in the celebrated Alexander Campbell Bible classes. When
through with his college course Mr. Richard's grandfather gave him means to
travel in foreign countries for his health, he having been an invalid
almost from infancy. Instead of spending much time in the gay capitals of
Europe young Richards adopted the idea of making a specialty of studying
the different breeds of horses of every country. He went first to England,
and no kind of horse escaped his notice, from the heavy draft animal used
by the brewers of London to the Derby winner. The first Derby race that he
saw was when Teddington won in 1851. (29) He timed this race, and was at
once impressed with the idea that a first-class American-bred colt could
win the Derby if the pace was made strong throughout and not a waiting
race, as is usually the case for this great event. (30) After leaving
England he went through France and examined the Norman horses. Then he
journeyed over Spain, where he gave especial attention to the Andalusian
horses, and examined a number of Arabian animals just then imported by
Queen Isabella from near Bagdad. From Spain he crossed over into Morocco
and rode through the country on some of the best Barbs. From Morocco he
went nearly the whole length of Algeria on horseback, and as he traveled
part of the time with a French passport he had every facility to inspect
the different horse-breeding establishments then under the control of the
French Government, as well as those horses owned by the native chiefs who
had been long in service with the renowned Abd-el-Kader, then a prisoner in
France. Mr. Richards then passed from Algeria to Tunis, where he made
diligent search for any trace, in shape or quality, of the Numidian horses
which Hannibal made so famous for cavalry. Mr. Richards afterward in a
sailing craft went to Malta and from there by steamer to Egypt, where he
made preparations to cross into Arabia Petrea by an entirely new route, and
he was with the first party of Europeans that crossed directly through the
Desert of Paran to the ruins of Petrou [Petra]. During this journey through
the wilderness, Mr. Richards learned to break-in the dromedary to ride
himself, and for amusement he frequently rode races on the regular "deloul"
of the desert. The deloul is the swift dromedary used in the wars of the
desert and for courier service, where great speed and endurance are
required. From Petrou [Petra] Mr. Richards passed on to Hebron and thence
to Jerusalem, where he made arrangements to visit all the interesting
localities in Palestine and Syria, but especially those districts where
good horses were to be found; for, by this time Mr. Richard's experience
with horses of Arab blood had given him an admiration for them. After
spending some time in Damascus he sought an interview with the celebrated
Sheik Midjuel, of the Aneysa [Anazah] tribe of Bedouins. Although the
American and English missionaries and consular agents thought the attempt
at the time a hazardous one, Mr. Richards induced the Sheik to take him as
far east from Damascus as the ruins of Palmyra. The danger in this was that
Midjuel had to pass near the Shammer [Shammar] tribe, with whom he had a
feud, and had Midjuel been captured by them, his head would have been the
forfeit. The journey was successful. Before leaving the East, Mr. Richards
selected and purchased several stallions and a mare of the best Arab blood,
(31) and shipped them by a careful groom to America, by the way of England,
soon following them himself, stopping on the way and seeing what the
Austrians and the Prussians called their best, including a look at the
Orloffs of Russia. Mr. Richards, soon after his arrival at home, purchased
some good mares to breed to his Arabians, and the famous mare Peytona (32)
was one of his first fancies. he paid a high price for her, and bred her to
Mossoud [Massoud]. He added many good mares to his list. Mr. Richards from
this gave great attention to breeding and training, and every
season--spring and autumn--had horses trained, and ran them in all parts of
the West and Southern country. Mr. Richards made a second visit to Arabia,
where he purchased more stallions and brood mares, but the war coming on in
this country the last experiment was not much known to the public. During
the war Mr. Richardards purchased the colt War Dance (33) for $5000, when a
two-year-old, from Jeff. Wells, his breeder, and when the war was over the
colt was taken to Kentucky to the Blue Grass Park, and since that time the
horse has kept his produce before the public. Mr. Richards went early into
the war, and later on was the friend who took Gen. Breckingridge out of
Kentucky so fast behind his Arab team when the latter gentleman supposed he
would be arrested. Mr. Richards afterward served on the staff of
Breckinridge. Although Mr. Richards had been on the turf thirty-five years
and was seen in the judges' stand on every prominent race-course in
America, no one can say that they ever heard him use an oath or make a bet
of any description.
