Camp Misery
Camp Misery, located off the bank of the Rappahannock River, was a Union Camp established in 1861. It was originally known as Camp Butler, but earned the name Camp Misery because of the horrific winter in 1862 that the soldiers experienced.〔http://www.historynet.com/camp-misery-excavation.htm〕
==Winter 1862==
The Winter of 1862 proved to be one of the harshest winters encountered during the Civil War. Camp Butler was plagued pneumonia, cholera, smallpox, dysentery, malaria and other diseases spurred by close contact, poor nutrition, and inadequate clothing and housing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.historynet.com/camp-misery-excavation.htm )〕 Camp Butler also held prisoners, and due to the poor health conditions within two and a half weeks over 148 prisoners had died.
The death rate at Camp Butler averaged around 3 to 4 soldiers per day and on some days the death toll reached as high as 15 men.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.illinoistimes.com/Springfield/article-5015-camp-misery.html )〕 According to the records kept by a doctor in the camp, Dr. Reece, by June 1862, 336 soldiers had been hospitalized. Because of the mass amount of deaths and harsh weather conditions recorded in this particular camp, Camp Butler was deemed "Camp Misery" by historians and civil war soldiers.
