Andersonville Diary, Escape And List Of The Dead (FULL Audiobook)

[@Holocaustica]

This journal is of the utmost important artifacts of its time. Andersonville and its ever-troubling story notwithstanding, these entries show you the best examples of informal, interaction. Not to mention public safety political, medical, nutritional views at that time. This is real history.

My great, great, great, Grandfather Noah Bergey was a prisoner in andersonville. He was from Michigan infantry Volunteers. He was captured in Murfreesboro in Tennessee. This is crazy stuff to know he was a prisoner there.

[@mtphill71]

My great great great grandfather Isaac Taylor was a guard at Andersonville. He kept a diary and journaled at great length about beating Noah Bergey senseless. Small world, crazy stuff!

My Greatx3 Grandfather (W. B. Costley out of Troup County, GA) was a Confederate prisoner in Meridian, MS for (literally) the last two weeks of the War. I am listening to this and wondering about conditions in Meridian were. I know Andersonville was the worst/most nororious, but it still gives me a peek into that world.

[@kennethbush6262]

Remarkable. Love the readers voice. Listen to this every night almost. Very descriptive diary. It's Sad that so many soldiers were starved to death. So many were beat to death as well by men in their own army. The union did nothing to save these soldiers.

[@rosssmith211]

The refusal of prisoner exchange by the North is a good look at how the federal government was willing to do anything to get their way ,at any price. Wouldn't care for the one's who gave them that winning of absolute power over the the Republic of United States of America . And at the end of the war the only winner was the federal government , both the northern and the southern states lost all states rights , it's sad and it just came to me that the Republic died the day the federal government won . Sad but true ? And now it is the same story , the uncivilized behavior of the federal government and it's lack of concern for individual citizens , shows that it is willing to do anything to anyone to get that they what ! On a side note ; In the book The Republic by Plato they talk about who can do the greatest good and the greatest harm to the civilized people. And it's the Doctors and politicians individually can be vary bad. When they work to gether it can get horrific, vary perverted and misguided , they become and liveing horror move you can't turn off . Now they are genetically engineering humans with shots of shit , adding on to all the processed crap as food , all the so called medicine . All the lay people with no personal responsibility for themselves, peaple with out understanding or perpetual purpose. They have made the black or blackish people all tools to give the government something to f with , as a now twisted kkk against them selfs and everything around them , went as far as to stop calling them , Black Americans to African Americans to take away their birthright as a American. Trying to make them all malcontents. The Federal Government needs to be put back to the constitutional powers it was given by the peaple , not what they took in the war over states rights . The only real purpose of the federal government was to protect life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not to infringe on it . To law abiding civilized tax paying individuals the federal and state governments are being run like criminal organizations . And the real pandemic is the insane power grab by the most evil ghoulish perverted things, unhealthy , unhuman and with their evil hope of total deterioration of civilized society , is a good thing to them . Thanks to all you people with real jobs not government make work crap , worthless so called jobs . Everything the enemy of civilized people say is the exact opposite of the truth. And would anyone say what I've said here is true ? Or am I a lier racist hateful deplorable as the enemy of civilized people would say ? And the mask is a muzzle the samething as 666 tattooed on your forehead . Please correct me if I'm wrong. I know I'm long winded , stand tall , if we fall it's the end of civilization and the human race as God made us . Thank you and please God bless all hard working men and women, you are my heroes. The party of slavery is evil and in power now and we better stand United or divided we fall and parish as God created human on earth. Thanks Rock on

[@nowthisnamestaken]

I hope you have read the book written by the late great John McElroy (no relation to me) The last 3 paragraphs of the book.. Only Wirz-small, insignificant, miserable Wirz, the underling, the tool, the servile, brainless, little fetcher-and-carrier of these men, was punished-was hanged, and upon the narrow shoulders of this pitiful scapegoat was packed the entire sin of Jefferson Davis and his crew. What a farce! A petty little Captain made to expiate the crimes of Generals, Cabinet Officers, and a President. How absurd! But I do not ask for vengeance. I do not ask for retribution for one of those thousands of dead comrades, the glitter of whose sightless eyes will follow me through life. I do not desire even justice on the still living authors and accomplices in the deep damnation of their taking off. I simply ask that the great sacrifices of my dead comrades shall not be suffered to pass unregarded to irrevocable oblivion; that the example of their heroic self-abnegation shall not be lost, but the lesson it teaches be preserved and inculcated into the minds of their fellow-countrymen, that future generations may profit by it, and others be as ready to die for right and honor and good government as they were. And it seems to me that if we are to appreciate their virtues, we must loathe and hold up to opprobrium those evil men whose malignity made all their sacrifices necessary. I cannot understand what good self-sacrifice and heroic example are to serve in this world, if they are to be followed by such a maudlin confusion of ideas as now threatens to obliterate all distinction between the men who fought and died for the Right and those who resisted them for the Wrong.

Went to Andersonville a few years back! Very sad place.

[@janettewells4708]

I am a "Limey" living in Australia and have recently become. I was a history teacher and have recently become interested in Vivil War history after watching "Hell on Wheels" where I first learnt of Andersonville. I had absolutely no idea of its existence. I know now. It wasn't a POW camp, it was a Concentration Camp, akin to the ones kept by the Japanese in Indo China. It's hard to say but I think even the Nazi camps were organised better. Sad to ssy these eye-witness first had accounts are the real stuff of history - utterly invaluable. The author did indeed have a plegmatic outlook on life and his Indian colleague was an angel. What a story of inhumanity and being bad losers in the end. I send my sincerest condolences, alrhough very late, to those in the comments whose relatives perished in Andersonville and whose last memories would have been that hell on earth. Also to those who lost relatives in that War in general. I have surely heen educated 9ncecagain in man's gross inhumanity to man. Commending the souls to The Lord God for those who died in this pitiless place. God rest them.

[@davidarbuckle7236]

My Aunt a Andersonville Historian was the late Peggy Sheppard. She told me of a story of a young married couple that ended up at Andersonville. The young bride apparently concealed her identity as a woman secret from her captors so that she could remain with him. She became pregnant and gave birth and all three survived. I am researching this to possibly write a Historical Fiction novel about their story. If anyone has knowledge of this story or any other that might be helpful, please contact me by leaving me a message.

You’re going to have to infer a lot if it was truly secret. And many accounts were lost on the Sultana. Figure out how they left and fill in the blanks.

Ok, I've heard different documented accounts about when the local women would come visit the prison and saw their conditions. According to description they were horrified at the ghastly sight infront of them. They felt so bad, they made complaints to staff and Captain Wirz himself. Then, the women of the town scrapped what they could together and made large batches of soup for the inmates with permission from the guards. Look, fact is during the war, certain areas of the Confederacy were in very short supply of food. Union troops made strategic attacks on farms, and cut off trade routes with other fertile states. By the way it was the UNION who refused a prison transfer; It was not the Confederacy who refused any type of transfer. The Confederacy sent hundreds of men to a believe Jacksonville "Union held territory", and they turned them away.

[@placroix57]

Wow, are you way off!

[@christinayoung1265]

The ONLY reason there was an issue with prisoner exchange is because the racist confederacy refused to include black soldiers. They usually just murdered them instead. There is no amount of blame you can pass onto the Federal Government to justify the hell of Andersonville. It blows my mind that people still refuse to see it for what it was. FYI: I’ve lived in the Deep South my entire life.

[@CKing-388]

It was the confederates fault for seceding from the Union ding dong. And when they couldn’t care for the prisoners properly they should have (and could have) set them free.

[@maskcollector6949]

It's because a Confederate prisoners were always worth more than Union prisoners since they were outnumbered... Basic strategy, but you're acting like they should have exchanged.

Bacteria release endotoxins and exotoxins, so they were on the right path. They just didn't have a microscope to see the bacteria and Listers's experiments were not carried out until about 20 years later. Lister did prove bacteria is carried in the air.
