Louisville Military Prison Registers

The Louisville Military Prison was Kentucky's primary facility for the confinement of prisoners-of-war. It served as a major shipping point for prisoners bound for the prison camps of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Obtained from the National Archives, these microfilmed records cover the period from 1862 to 1865. The register for civilian prisoners contains references to those Kentuckians charged with treason, spying or engaging in guerrilla warfare.
