| Text | Baseball play was part of the Elmira POW Camp throughout the war. The Chemung Union played against some Elmira POWs in 1865, according to James E. Hare, "Elmira," p. 75. Janowski, "The Elmira Prison Camp" p. 360 says that in 1864 "The teams of the different [Confederate] states used to play baseball for the edification of the guards," quoting a soldier who was in the 54th NY guarding the POWs. Horrigan, "Elmira: Death Camp of the North" says that on 9-3-64 two guards regiments, the 54th and 56th NY Infantry, played baseball against each other outside the camp. |
