Description
October 29 – Prisoners of War
Both American and British forces struggled to figure out what to do with captured soldiers and sailors throughout the American Revolution. Many were sent to the infamous HMS Jersey, the Newgate Prison, or to Camp Security. Learn what happened to these soldiers and sailors when they arrived.
