Description
During the final fourteen months of the Civil War, Georgia's Andersonville Prison was a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp. The mass graves of more than 12,000 prisoners became a national cemetery in 1865. In 1878 the original wooden markers were replaced with marble headstones, otherwise little has changed here since the Civil War. My wife had three GG Granduncles in the Civil war. Two of the brothers were in Andersonville where one died at age 21.
