Another observation. Andersonville was described in detail and with photographs. The only mention of the other civil war prison camps was that Andersonville was the worst. Not a word regarding Elmira, Camp Douglass, Ft. Delaware, etc. Elmira and Camp Douglass had similar death rates as Andersonville. In addition, the guards at Andersonville had extremely high death rates. I had ancestors who died in Andersonville, Camp Douglass, Ft. Delaware and Elmira. Also, Winder was a distant relative. As I've told others, my family doesn't do well in pow camps.
