The article highlights the Libby Military Prison in Richmond, Virginia. It is a famous military prison during the Civil War and later transferred to Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1845 near the James River, it was used to be a tobacco warehouse, but when the Civil War started in 1861, the Confederate government used it for the captured Union officers. After the war, rich Chicagoans purchased it and moved it to Chicago in 1889 as a tourist attraction under the ownership of Charles F. Gunther. |
