Prisoners could not be required to work, but were given the opportunity to do so -- and earn small salaries.
Many volunteered to pick potatoes, apples, peas and beans; cut pulpwood, or work at the Snyder food packing plant.
In Houlton, POWs picked 2,503,660 barrels of potatoes and cut 158,629 cords of wood.
