JOHNSONS ISLAND, A Prison For Confederate Officers by Roger Pickenpaugh. Softbound, 6x9, 123 pages. In 1861, Lt. Col. William Hoffman was appointed to the post of commissary general of prisoners and urged to find a suitable site for construction of what was expected to be the Unions sole military prison. After inspecting four islands in Lake Erie, Hoffman came upon one in Sandusky Bay known as Johnsons Island. With a large number of fallen timber, forty acres of cleared land, and its proximity to Sandusky, Ohio, Johnsons Island seemed the ideal location for the Unions purpose.
