“During the War between the States 1861-1865

More than a Thousand Confederates

Were Imprisoned Here of Whom Thirteen Died

This Marker Placed in Their Memory by the

Boston Chapter, United Daughters of the

Confederacy, at Civil War Centennial Ceremony

May 24, 1963″

The memorial honors the 13 individuals that lost their lives at the prison. It also has a nice statement about the gravestone. The conditions were so humane that even though 1000s of prisoners would pass through its gate only these 13 died. Contrast this to the Andersonville Prison in the south. Shortsighted progressive politians took the memorial down in 2017 and it is now in storage at the Massachusetts Archives. This was during the 2017 rampage on southern statues, memorials, and monuments. Sure some statues, memorials, and monuments in the southern states were put up out of spite and should be or have been taken down. This monument was not placed up in spite.

The North of the late 1860s were vastly more respectful of the South than Massachusetts of the present day can be. There are hundreds of Southern military men that are buried around the state with nice made gravestones and military decorations. Hopefully, these will not be found and removed.

The North post-bellum was very conciliatory to the South. Much was done to repair the geographical regions. Many statues, memorials, and monuments went up very quickly in this period to honor the war deaths. Also to honor the people that helped to heal the Union. Many cemeteries and town commons have such monuments. Just because the men who died at the fort here were on the Confederate side does not mean that they should not be respected. The were respected during their stay at the prison camp and should be respected again.

At first the men were buried on the west side of the island. They were moved to the Post Cemetery at Fort Winthrop Massachusetts. Most of the men were then moved once again and buried in the Deer Island Cemetery in Winthrop Massachusetts – FINDAGRAVE Their last move came in 1939 when they were moved to Fort Devens’ Post Cemetery in Devens Massachusetts. Ten of the 13 men are without gravestones at their final resting place. It is typical that a set group that are or once were buried as a group would have a monument within a cemetery devoted to them.

Thus the monument stone should either be returned to Fort Warren or brought to the cemetery at Fort Winthrop or to the cemetery at Fort Devens. This would be the respectable act. It would also help both young and old learn about history. Until that act happens, let this page stand as a solemn memorial to those men.
