That is really interesting. A part of history we don't hear about. Thanks for sharing.

A small spot on the map and you have stopped and appreciated all those who once lived and died there . Thank you Liz for sharing, so many will drive through that town and never realize any of the history there or The struggles and hardships of that time.

Your adventures are already so interesting, think we all are in for a great summer with you .

I enjoyed it so much,
CArol :)

Great pictures and narrative Liz. It is hard to believe people could be so cruel even in war.

very interesting indeed, never knew about the prison camps in the US. A part of history I was never taught. Thank you.

Liz, thank you for the insight of that ugly place. My great great grandfather was a prisoner there, but survived only because he was an officer.
