Description
Andersonville Civil War Prison by Robert Scott Davis In just over a year, Andersonville became one of the most infamous places in America. From 1864 to 1865, it grew from a small prison camp into a city with thousands of inmates, earning its place as the largest city in Georgia and the fifth largest in the Confederate States. Despite its brief existence, Andersonville's impact was devastating. Almost forty thousand soldiers, sailors, and civilians passed through its gates, but only thirteen thousand survived. The conditions within were brutal, leading to one of the highest mortality rates in American history. This book tells the story of Andersonville, a place where the harsh realities of war and imprisonment took a terrible toll on those who suffered there.
