What About the Missing? Prisoners of War & the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Battles

Cost: $5.50 for Online Event Access

Speaker: Sarah Kay Bierle, American Battlefield Trust

Killed, wounded, missing — these are typical designations on the casualty lists during the American Civil War. Missing could mean many fates, but it often suggested the soldier might be a prisoner. By 1864, though, soldiers had narrowed hopes of surviving a POW Camp and actively encouraged each other to fight desperately to avoid capture. 

Using battle accounts, battlefield land research, primary sources, and prisoner documentation, the Trust's Sarah Kay Bierle will trace the attitudes and experiences of Civil War soldiers in blue and gray from the battlefields of the Shenandoah Valley to prison camps and their fates of death or survival.
