quite a few northern soldiers were there as a result of being paid to take another persons' place. also, i read that the only man executed after the war for war crimes was the man in charge of andersonville prison...over 12000 men died there.
i've been to vicksburg, gettysburg, shiloh, manassas, pea ridge. going to chattanooga and chickamauga in august. some day chancellorsville and antietam-the house where stonewall died after chancellorsville is still there, but not open to many. also, the conspirator opens friday-about mary surratt. i've been to where her house still stands; also travelled the route that john wilkes booth took after the assassination-also been to dr. mudd's. of course, it helped that i grew up near there. fascination, amazing...you look at maps showing how the armies travelled-no wonder they went thru shoes like crazy!
