The Confederate prison camp at Andersonville recorded 12,290 deaths within its 26-acre confines at the conclusion of the American Civil War. During its 14 months of operation, Union prisoners weathered the unsheltered stockade overcrowded with makeshift tents and men—starvation, disease, and violence as pervasive as the humidity of a Georgia summer. As rations continued to deplete, water sources became contaminated, making death imminent for many within.
This new edition of The Prison Camp at Andersonville from the popular National Park Civil War Series provides readers with updated photos and text to accurately recount the horrors the imprisoned faced during the American Civil War. Today, the site of the former Andersonville prison serves as a memorial to all American prisoners of war—a place where thousands of visitors each year come to learn about the heroic sacrifices made by so many.
Collect all National Park Civil War Series books, comprising more than 30 titles. From the first cannons fired at Fort Sumter, to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, this award-winning collection illustrates the full scope of the war with remarkable vividness and accessibility.
