While we're on internment camps in Texas, don't forget this one:

Confederate Prisoner of War Camp in East Texas. Reports of

University, College Station.
Mike Waters at Texas A&M has also been investigating a German POW camp
in Hearne, Texas. You can google Camp Hearne and get some general
information, but for more specific archaeological info you might want to
contact Dr. Waters at A&M.

Hi Marybeth,
Thanks kindly for your email. No, I've not come across these, so very
much
appreciated!
In fact I may need a little help with the references, if you are able...
my
Googling was unsuccessful! Perhaps I don't have enough information to go
on.
Your time is very much appreciated,
Sincerely,
Adrian
