The Tombs



Dear Colleagues,

A researcher in Los Angeles queried me as to whether the National Civil War
Museum Archives had any information about "THE TOMBS" prison.  She
specifically wanted to know its location and what type of prisoners were
housed there.  We don't but, as a born and raised New Yorker, I knew that
The Tombs was in NYC.  I gave her a number of leads including the New York
Historical Society, the Andersonville National Historic Site, even the Dry
Tortugas National Park in Key West, but those leads have not produced
results.
        Can any of you help?  I will compile the replies and forward them.
        Thank you.

Sincerely,
Elayne Goyette, Archivist
The National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA
