Prisoners of War

My aunt related a story to me years ago that goes something like this…
"During the recent unpleasantness here in the Nation, when brother fought against brother, there arose, of necessity, camps where prisoners could be safely incarcerated. A prison camp for Confederate prisoners of war was built at Point Lookout, Md., on the tip of the peninsula where the Potomac River joins Chesapeake Bay. In the two years during which the camp was in operation, August, 1863, to June, 1865, Point Lookout overflowed with inmates, surpassing its intended capacity of 10,000 to a population numbering between 12,500 and 20,000. In all, over 50,000 men, both military and civilian, were held prisoner there.
Two men in particular were held in the camp and not repatriated until the end of the war. They did not know each other, nor did they ever meet, neither would they. When the war was over, each returned home. One to Tennessee, and the other to his home in Georgia. Some years later, both of these men moved to Texas with their families. It was the fastest growing state of the union at that time. They both began farming. Again, years later, a son Henry Wilson and a daughter Dianna Ramsey met and married. Diana and Henry were married in 1893, both of them were 23 years of age at the time. The story of their fathers' prisoner of war status became known. Their fathers had been together in the Union's Prisoner of War Camp.
