The well written first hand entries from those poor souls; for all that they endured they remained honorable to a cause which they truly believed to be just. The history of the United States should be rewritten to include the true facts behind the breakdown within the POW camps of both the North and the South. I found it shocking that the treatment of POWs as shields; starvation; exposure and lack of basic humane needs. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in search for the truth. The reader should keep an open mind and not rush to judgement; as much of history (as we were taught) only tales half the story. I am revisiting and updating my review of this eye opening story.....after reading I found myself on a quest to learn more about the subject of POW camps and especially the ones located in the North; as they are the forgotten history. Andersonville may have been located in the south yet there were those in the north that made it pale in most cases. The only real difference is that the north won and choose to dismantle the physical evidence and forget its equally cruel treatment of the southern prisoners.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Unfortunately; errors do occur; particularly when you are working with a list of 600. My ancestor was with the 8th Arkansas CAVALRY not the infantry. You must read this with Maj. John Ogdan Murray's "The Immortal 600"; to truly understand the depth of emotion felt by these men.
