Salisbury Prison was used as a prison
from the opening of the war, but it only
became a great prison in the last year.
Undoubtedly the suffering there was
fully as great if not greater than at
Andersonville. There are 1926 graves
of prisoners at Salisbury, of which only
94 are known, leaving 1902 unknown.
There are 1874 graves at Anderson
