Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Confederate prison known as Andersonville existed for only the last fourteen months of the Civil War―but its well-documented legacy of horror has lived on in the diaries of its prisoners and the transcripts of the trial of its commandant. The diaries describe appalling conditions in which vermin-infested men were crowded into an open stockade with a single befouled stream as their water source. Food was scarce and medical supplies virtually nonexistent. The bodies of those who did not survive the night had to be cleared away each morning. Designed to house 10,000 Yankee prisoners, Andersonville held 32,000 during August 1864. Nearly a third of the 45,000 prisoners who passed through the camp perished. Exposure, starvation, and disease were the main causes, but excessively harsh penal practices and even violence among themselves contributed to the unprecedented death rate. At the end of the war, outraged Northerners demanded retribution for such travesties, and they received it in the form of the trial and subsequent hanging of Captain Henry Wirz, the prison’s commandant. The trial was the subject of legal controversy for decades afterward, as many people felt justice was ignored in order to appease the Northerners’ moral outrage over the horrors of Andersonville. The story of Andersonville is a complex one involving politics, intrigue, mismanagement, unfortunate timing, and, of course, people - both good and bad. Relying heavily on first-person reports and legal documents, author Catherine Gourley gives us a fascinating look into one of the most painful incidents of U.S. history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Anyone researching Andersonville should read this very well written book to learn the whole truth about what happened.' - Saber and Scroll After the American Civil War, Major Wirz was tried by a military tribunal, found guilty of "war crimes" and hanged. Forty years later, in 1908, Page wrote this memoir to tell dispel the slanders told about Wirz. Page explains how the prison Wirz was in charge of was designed to hold, at most, 10,000 prisoners. The population quickly swelled to 30,000 prisoners, overwhelming the South's ability to feed, clothe and house the Andersonville prisoners. Over 13,000 POWs died out of 45,000 prisoners due to disease and diet, and Page claims that Wirz was made a scapegoat to appease the wrath of the families of those who had died. 'a good read and very different than what is force fed us' - Civil War Talk James Madison Page was born on July 22, 1839 in Crawfordville, Pennsylvania. He served in the Union army as 2d Lieutenant of Company A, Sixth Michigan Cavalry. After participating in many skirmishes and battles, including Gettysburg, Page was captured on September 21, 1863 along the Rapidan in Virginia and spent the next thirteen months in Southern military prisons, seven of which were at Camp Sumter near Andersonville, Georgia. After the war, Page was supoenaed for the war crimes trial of Major Henry Wirz, the former commandant of the prison, but after being interviewed, the prosecution decided not to call him as a witness because his testimony undermined the predetermined guilt of the accused. Having been present at the prison in the summer of 1864, when the atrocities were said to have occurred, Page denied that any of the four murders charged to Wirz had happened, which denial was supported by the fact that the alleged deceased were never named. After being dissuaded by his sister from joining the ill-fated Indian foray in the West under the command of General George Custer, Page instead moved to the Montana Territory in 1866, where he worked as a Government surveyor. The town of Pageville in Madison County was named in his honor. Page spent his final years in Long Beach, California, where he died in 1924. The True Story of Andersonville Prison was first published in 1908.

CHAPTER XI THAT TERRIBLE AUGUST August was a terrible month at Andersonville. The heat was terrific and the fatality among the prisoners was something awful. Scurvy, the most destructive disease that afflicted us, was now fearfully prevalent. Nearly one-half the men were afflicted with it, and hundreds were dying daily. The first symptoms of the awful disease were generally a soreness of the gums, and shortly afterward ulceration set in, and unless the malady was checked the teeth became loose and fell out. Lieutenant Davis was in command, and, I believe, did all he could with the scant supply of food and medicine at hand, to alleviate the condition. Notwithstanding the derogatory reports relative to Wirz, I heard men say during that awful August, "I wish that Captain Wirz was back." The reader, North and South, will concede that during the summer of 1864 the Southern Confederacy was on "its last legs." Its means of transportation was broken in many places and its food and clothing supplies meager and inadequate. In fact, the whole South was in an impoverished condition. Here was the same as a city with a population of over 30,000 souls. Some writers put it at 35, ooo, but at the lowest there were 30,000 prisoners at Andersonville in August, 1864. Imagine what it was under the conditions in the South at that time to provide food, scant though it was, for those thousands. It was said at Andersonville, and I have, during the past fifteen or twenty years, read accounts from Southern sources, that the Confederate Government during the summer of 1864 asked the Washington authorities to send physicians and hospital supplies for the express use of Union prisoners held in the South; they pledged that those supplies would be only for the Union...

Book excerpt: "McElroy, with a detachment of his regiment, was guarding a supply route to Cumberland Gap when his entire company was captured in a surprise attack one morning during the winter of 1862-63. He and his comrades were taken to Lippy Prison, and from there they were sent to Andersonville. McElroy spent the rest of the war as a prisoner. His story of attempts at escape, of comrades tracked through cypress swamps by packs of vicious dogs, and of the everyday struggle just to stay alive, is one of the great stories of the Civil War"--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an important prison narrative, written by a Northern soldier who was captured in September 1863 along the Rapidan and imprisoned at Andersonville prison in Georgia. His account of the conditions he encountered there is of interest, but more important is his defense of the prison commander Henry Wirz, who was charged by the U.S. Government and executed after the war for "barbarous crimes against humanity." He not only contends that the unfortunate officer was unjustly lynched, but shows that "the Federal authorities must share the blame" for Andersonville because of their refusal to exchange prisoners. The author's description of the trial, conviction, and execution of Wirz is extremely sympathetic and provides a welcome alternative to the one-sided and distorted picture painted by Yankee historians.
