	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Andersonville Prison
		The new camp, officially named Camp Sumter, quickly became known as Andersonville, after the railroad station in neighboring Sumter County beside which the camp was located.
		Andersonville's garrison consisted of troops from various units over the course of its fourteen months in operation.
		In the decades following the war Andersonville's notoriety was fueled by memoirs written by former prisoners, many of whom were inspired by public interest in the prison and by efforts to lobby Congress for special veterans' benefits for POWs.

		Civil War prisons, both North and South, were notorious for their bad conditions and high death rates, but the prison in Andersonville, Georgia was, in its number of victims, the worst.
		Although the exact number of 45th OVI prisoners at the camp is unknown, a total of 68 perished there.
		Altogether three-fifths of the 274 men from the 45th captured during the war, and seven-ninths of the 45 taken prisoner at Holston River, died either in rebel prisons or soon after their release, from the effects of malnutritution and disease.

		Far more than that, it is about the great war that gave rise to those horrors, and the horror of slavery that gave rise to the war, which is why it continues to deserve our attention.
		The novel opens in the fall of 1863 at the farm of Ira Claffey near Anderson, Ga., to which Confederate officers have come to build a prisoner-of-war camp.
		Well, yes and no. While the critics have a point that Kantor relies overmuch on stock characters -- the doddering preacher, the genial white prostitute with her brood of multi-fathered bastards, the faithful slave -- there actually is considerable diversity among the prisoners.

		Upon reading the novel this is immediately apparent; in one particularly disturbing scene, a crippled, dying prisoner searches for sustenance in the excrement of another prisoner.
		The death and sickness inherent in the novel, and well documented in the review, manifests themselves in the fact that few characters survive for more than several chapters, dying from causes as varied as scurvy, hanging by fellow prisoners, musket fire, and collapsed tunnels.
		Hesseltine asserts that in doing research for characters of the novel, Kantor not only resorted to stereotypes, but he also bought into the propagandized accounts of the Andersonville debacle, and painted a skewed picture of what life was really like.

		But Andersonville is also a town, a normally quiet burg whose business district consists of a welcome center, snack bars and a handful of antique shops selling everything from Elvis paintings to minie balls, the ammunition used in Civil War muskets.
		The monument in the town of Andersonville, erected by the Georgia division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, points all that out, and more.

		At first glance, one dismissed the concurrence of the relics and accounts because Andersonville is a POW museum and not a museum dedicated to a specific war.
		Looking carefully at the information presented inside Andersonville, one truth that becomes apparent is that soldiers must somehow remove their thoughts from the battlefield or they will become insane (Andersonville Class Trip).
		Andersonville makes the soldier's experiences during war seem relevant because it focuses on common struggles and common victories (Andersonville Class Trip).

		Andersonville's commander, Capt. Henry Wirz, was the only Confederate officer executed as a war criminal at war's end; his trial was dramatized by a 1959 Broadway play and a 1970 PBS film.

		In Andersonville: The Last Depot, William Marvel gives the serious student of Civil War history a balanced and highly accurate account of what transpired during those fourteen awful months between Feb. 1864 and Apr. 1865.
		To me, the bottom line on Andersonville is that, despite an abundance of trees in the vicinity, the prisoners were provided no shelter nor were permitted to build their own.
		Marvel never mentions all of the members of the military tribunal or the substantial body of official correspondence, from Confederate government sources, critical of conditions at and the administration of Andersonville, that was submitted as evidence during the trial.

	Critical Mass - Reading Andersonville, contd.
		According to the database of Andersonville prisoners maintained by the Macon County, Georgia, Chamber of Commerce, Jacob Swarner--or Sworm, as he was apparently also known--was a musician who served, as Kantor tells us, with the Second New York Cavalry, Company H. Captured at Liberty Mills, Virginia, he died at Andersonville on July 26, 1864.
		The cause of death was listed as "anasarca," or, in dictionary-ese, "Dropsy of the subcutaneous cellular tissue; an effusion of serum into the cellular substance, occasioning a soft, pale, inelastic swelling of the skin." Officially, Jacob Swarner swelled to death.
		And that is even worse because the Confederates, due to blockades and Union destructions, could not feed or medicate their own troops close to adequately the last couple of years while the Union had no problems with food, medicine, and transportation of both.
