Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 897. “Castle Thunder,” Richmond, Va. This is a building which was used by the Rebels as a prison to confine Union soldiers. Its history is almost as damnable as that of Libby Prison. The horrors of both “Castle Thunder” and Libby Prison will be vividly remembered as long as any soldier who was therein confined shall live. [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
