- Summary
- Andersonville (Camp Sumter) Civil War prison was only in operation for little more than one year, from 1964 into 1865. In just a few of those months, however, it became the largest city in Georgia and the fifth-largest city in the Confederate States of America. During that time, it also became America's deadliest prison. Of the almost forty thousand captured Federal soldiers, sailors and civilians who entered its gates, some thirteen thousand died there. Thousands more died as a result of their time in this stockade of legend in deep southwest Georgia. Here the author tells the story of this infamous Confederate prison.
