.
Johnson
in
1861
for
use

prison
camp
for
Confederate

Due
to the
abundant
natural
resources
on the
island
, the
conditions
were not as
harsh
as those in
many
Southern

camps

did
suffer

exposure
to
harsh
Lake

winters
.
Created
to
hold
Confederate
officers
, the
prison
housed
about
3,000
prisoners
by the
end
of the
war
