Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 2542. Where Prisoners Were Exchanged. this is Aikens Landing, where the flag-of-truce boat from Richmond came to discharge her cargo of poor, starved, and often dying Union prisoners, and recieve in exchange the same number of healthy, well-fed Rebels from our guards. Two or three rough old canal boats, and the grim old monitor there at anchor, but above all the glorious old stars and stripes, and on the shore the loving hearts and kindly hands of friends; so our poor starved boys called it the gate into Gods country. [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
Anthony No. 2542.
