    I remember how shocked I was when I first saw pictures and read accounts of prisoners at Andersonville prison. Thanks for including all these references for further study!

    It is strange you know but I am drawn to information on the Civil War and The Alamo. It's strange because I am Canadian and should be more interested in what happened on the Plains of Abraham. Go figure .... I'm going to have to keep an eye on your lenses. There is not enough time in a day to do everything I want to do .... ggggrrrrrr ... guess that's what keeps me young (???)

    Gosh! I have to literally hold my breath reading this article. It's a very mixed feeling reading about people's diaries... those things they gone thru as prisoners... ! That's why I love to read about the past, helps me to appreciate the present. Thanks again for a yet another wonderful lens. I think I just became your fan...^_^!

    Wow, this is great for history lovers. It's always more meaningful when a family member was there. Great job.

    Excellent topic. I have looked at several things on Footnote while researching my genealogy. It is shocking when you dig deep into the details of the Civil War. It is really interesting history.

    I've never been really interested in history until recently when i seem to have developed an interest because of the stories of people - this is a great lens

    What a sad war and so many deaths! Great, historical info here.

    Interesting article on one of the dark times in American History. Thanks for such a good collection of first hand resources!

    Very interesting lens. I am looking forward to seeing how it develops as you add more accounts written by the Andersonville victims.

    This sounds like a precursor to the concentration camps, even down to the "deadline" of the camp, using prisoners to bury the dead and the starvation of prisoners. But this happened right here in the good ol' USA...how horrible!

    I did my high school term paper on Andersonville titled "Man's inhumanity to man". It was an appalling topic and one that has stayed with me for more than 40 years. We tend to forget (or ignore) that this is also part of our history. This is a reminder for all of us. .

    I remember reading about Andersonville Prison when I was still in Elementary School. The whole war was so sad.
