General Thomas Welsh Family Papers
Title
Poem written by an incarcerated person in the state prison of New Jersey
Description
A poem written by a prisoner in the state prison of New Jersey about dealing with the pain and distress of incarceration, transcribed by Thomas Welsh.
Admin/Biographical History
Thomas Welsh (1824-1863) was a Lancaster County native (born and raised in Columbia), who rose from hardscrabble origins to local fame, first as a Mexican War hero, and then as a brigadier general during the Civil War. He was well known and well respected as a no nonsense officer, for his leadership and gallantry in battle, for his dedication to the service of his country, and for his concern for the welfare of his men.
