NEW YORK, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Mistreatment of prisoners of war has been a contentious topic in recent months and throughout the annals of history. American soldiers held captive by the British during the American Revolution experienced some of the harshest such mistreatment, aboard prison ships docked off New York City's East River in the late Eighteenth Century. Four out of every five men who passed through the prison ships died in filth and darkness, and most were buried in shallow graves by their freedom-fighting peers on the banks of the river. On Sunday, February ...
