Gold Watch


Robert was able to keep his valuable gold watch in a Civil War prison? There's no way that could have really happened. Prisoners were searched for money and valuables immediately.

If you had actually read anything about Civil War detention camps, you'd know the treatment varied considerably, and that a lot of personal property survived quite well. They weren't exactly strip & cavity-searching everyone that came in. And in properly-run camps the property was returned to the prisoner when he was exchanged or released.
