Please do a detailed video on how you choose the stones and how you lay them. Waiting patiently for your next video. Great work.

We lived near the site of an old POW camp in Arizona reserved for captured German sailors. There is a story of how a group of POWs got hold of a map showing the nearby Salt River and figured they just had to make their way to it and raft down to the Gulf of California to Mexico. Of course, they were unaware that the river they saw marked on the map was a dry watercourse most months out of the year and were eventually apprehended sheltering by an irrigation ditch in the desert.

my grandfather was a german POW I recently got his records from Germany which has his personal serial number. He had always said to my dad he was sent to Oklahoma but the only thing I could find his the stamp POW camp number 8. Could yo help me with any of that?

I’m not sure how they were listed. I concentrated on Louisiana camps where there were five base camps and many smaller satellite camps around the state. I did find lists of prisoners at the archives at LSU. Maybe check your state archives or university archives.

My dad was a camp guard of German POW's in the US. He said they were a hardworking and industrious bunch. They liked working on the local farms and were always making things out of scraps. Some made all wood coo-coo clocks that they would sell to the camp personnel or locals they worked for.

Great job Melinda! Can't wait to visit Vicksburg in late March, 2023. We are looking forward to follow the path of Grant's March through Louisiana. I hope 3 days are enough time to experience the Vicksburg Campaign.

I know near where I reside and very close to where I use to work, are remnants of a POW camp in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. Some of the old officers quarters have been converted into private homes, and what was the camp has been turned into a residential neighborhood. It butts up to the old Milwaukee Road property.

I got such a kick out seeing you at the Port Allen site. My daddy was 12 years old when that camp opened. He loved to tell stories about growing up in Port Allen. My favorite stories involved the German POWs.

I grew up next to Fort Drum, NY. Back in WWII, it was known as Pine Camp, and housed German and Italian POWs. Back in the 80s, many of the old barracks still stood and had been repurposed as 'craft shops', where soldiers could come and do woodworking, pottery, etc. I remember walking down the dirt path between the buildings and easily imagining what it looked like in the 1940s.
