Camp Blackshear


Located on Hwy 203 N near Blackshear, this marker and little patch of woods is all there is to indicate that it was once a temporary POW camp. This article http://civilwarblackshearga.com/ says that the town of approx 300 households was unprepared for the first shipment of starving men but that they "shared what they had."
