Camp Randall Confederate Prison Camp was located near Madison, Wisconsin. During it's short three month existence, 139 men died. Most were Confederate soldiers from Alabama. They are buried at Confederate Rest Cemetery. Those who survived were sent to various Confederate prisons.
Camp Randall was originally the site of the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds. At the outbreak of the War in 1861 it was converted into the largest of several camps for the organization, training and mustering into Federal service of Wisconsin Militia and Volunteer organizations. It served this purpose admirably throughout the entire War.
In the Spring of 1862 the Camp was taken entirely by surprise that some 1300 Confederate Prisoners of War captured in the operations at and around Island No.10 were to be sent there for confinement. The camp had no provisions for housing prisoners. A corner of the camp was stockaded off and numerous wooden frame huts were built.
On April 20th, 1862 the first group of prisoners arrived in Madison by train, some 881 men, according to contemporary accounts. Most of these men were in good health, though some ill and wounded did accompany them. They were taken in charge at the depot by soldiers of the 19th Wisconsin Infantry, a raw regiment that was assigned the task of being prison guards because they were the only military organization at that time in the State capable of the job. A huge crowd of Madison civilians turned out to see the prisoners who were described at being dressed in the dirty, ragged remnants of their grey and butternut uniforms. They were described as being in generally good spirits and as they marched to the Camp the band of the 19th played "Dixie" at which the step and military bearing of the men improved considerably. Many good natured remarks passed between the prisoners and the Madison natives. Only one citizen showed disdain by saying "this is what you get for your treason!: To which a prisoner loudly replied "I reckon you are one of the stay at home sort, left here to do all the windy work. You'd do better service to join your folks down south!"
On April 24th, 1862 another train arrived bearing some 275 severely sick men. They had not fared well on the journey and Madison's natives were outraged by their condition, even if they were enemies. As the newspaper put it "These are still our fellow citizens, misguided though they be." The city residents were very generous in bringing food, medicine and clothing for the ill men. The Typographical Union and the Masonic organizations were especially active. The Surgeon the the 19th was joined by a Confederate Surgeon named Moore who had accompanied the men, and also by a civilian contract surgeon. These three men worked tirelessly, but many of these men were too far gone. For approximately the next four weeks at least several died each day until some 145 died. 140 graves are marked by name and regiment in the Confederate Rest Cemetery plot about a mile away where they were buried. It is said there are also 5 unmarked graves of unknowns.
