Tonight on the History Channel, there will be a program about Camp Douglas. I'll be paying attention to see what I can get from it. Linuxbeak (drop me a line) 01:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What time.

Dear person,

       what time does the program start on the histor channal?

[edit] University of Chicago?

The article states that seminary students from the University of Chicago provided humanitarian aid; the University of Chicago was founded in 1890, well after the Civil War. Perhaps instead these were students from the Chicago Theological Seminary, a separate institution?

-- I removed the sentence about University of Chicago. Maybe someone else can verify whether the Theological Seminary is the real answer.

[edit] Map

Does someone have a good map of where this was? I was walking around the area, but wan't sure where it was. I don't know if there were ever any historical markers put up. There should be. --Kalmia 07:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
