American Prisoners of the Revolution eBook Danske Dandridge

The one thing you never want to see ever is the name of a family member on a list of 8,000 people (out of perhaps 11,000 be some estimates, and 17,000 by others) who were left to die on one of the prison ships. The one thing that leaves you with hope is finding the name of a family member whom you know survived. Supply Clap did not survive. I'm still looking for even one family survivor. Every now and again, I go through the list, finding more family names, but without the courage to verify who are family, and who lived to go home.

The recollections of survivors are heartbreaking, very difficult to read, and harder to write about. When you know your family was there, it's even worse. American prisoners were not considered POW's, but traitors, and were treated accordingly. It is tragic that so many Americans don't know about the prison ships, and are in disbelief when I tell them. They need to know!!!

The one thing I wish it had (maybe it's there, but I didn't see it) is a breakdown of the numbers prisoners by year to show that the war was far from over for the men on those ships. So many people think the war ended in Virginia, unaware of more prisoners died in Wallabout Bay (the Brooklyn Navy Yard) after Yorktown (I think this is correct - sorry if it isn't) than during the entire war. If you ever in Brooklyn, NY, go to Ft Green Park and visit the memorial to these martyrs (and they were martyrs).
