The Confederacy's 'coal bomb,' manufactured in Richmond VA, was one of the coolest weapons of the Civil War. Only two or three exist. Painted black to resemble coal, the plan was to sneak it into a coal pile for Union steamships, where it would detonate upon being shoveled into the fire, exploding the boiler and crippling the ship. The USS Chenango was disabled, and Major General Benjamin Butler’s personal steamer "Greyhound" was sunk by coal bombs.

Camp Chase was a Union POW camp for Confederate prisoners. But they were not the only ones interned, there. "Among Camp Chase's first prisoners of war were political prisoners. These political prisoners were primarily judges, mayors, journalists, and legislators. When these political prisoners died there, burial records listed their name and the word 'citizen.' The Camp Chase cemetery is dotted with headstones bearing the word 'citizen.'
Northerners (headstones reading: 'Citizen') thus were starved and killed by exposure to the elements alongside the Confederate prisoners on Lincoln's orders.

Conditions in Camp Chase were such that men were deliberately debilitated, left to suffer deadly cold and persistent hunger. This was official policy in a land of plenty, designed to diminish the number of Confederate combatants fit to return to battle.
One of the well known prisoners at Camp Chase was Randall McCoy.

"My great great grandfather, Andrew J Nunn was in this prison camp at the same time as Dr. King. The amount of suffering these men went through is a horror story. My grandfather told me that everytime his grandfather saw an American flag he'd spit on the ground. I always wondered about that until I read this book."
