Point Lookout Prison Carved Civil War Folk Art Pipe

Item Details

Description

American, ca 1862. Folk art pipe from the Point Lookout prison camp, possibly done by a Union soldier posted at the site. The central motif is a triumphant eagle with outspread wings and shield inscribed U.S. Grant upon its breast, clutching a writhing snake within its talons. Held within its beak is a banner reading Point Lookout. Flanking the eagle are two flags, one incised Sherman, the other with Hooker. Directly below the rim is carved Thomas, likely the maker of the pipe.

Point Lookout was among one the most notorious prison camps operated by the Union during the Civil War. Located in southern Maryland, the camp was established in 1863 after the Battle of Gettysburg. Living conditions were harsh, with only tents to shield detainees from the elements. By the end of the war, at least 50,000 soldiers had been held in Point Lookout.

Provenance: Estate of Jan Sorgenfrei

Condition

Dark residue on an area of the right side. Small part of "H" in "Thomas" chipped.
