Thank you so very much for helping to keep this era of our great country's history alive. The more I learn through family research the more I learn about their involvement in fighting to keep the country together. Your site has proven to be a goldmine! Keep up the great work!

my second great-grandfather, matthew l mcbride, was a private with the illinois 30th infantry company c. according to records, while fighting in or about atlanta, georgia he was wounded in the arm & about 2 minutes later was captured by the confederates & he was sent to andersonville. unfortunately there are no stories about his stay there as my mother really didn't know about her grandfather's family, but i would have loved to heard about his personal experience. so i have had to be satisfied with just what i have found on the internet, but i do know he survived that place, had children (because i am here) & fought for years to recieve military disability benefits.

Awesome site. Thanks so much for your dedication.

My great-great-grandfather, Samuel L. Barr, was a Pennsylvian volunteer who was captured and died at Andersonville, GA. He was a Private. Do you have record of his death at this camp?

Sincerely,

You have a very interesting site. I am amazed by the amount and quality of information you have posted.

Thank you so very much for providing so much information about my grandfather's uncle, Almerick Dailey, who died at Andersonville. You have filled a large void in my knowledge of my family history.

I found the whole story to be very interesting. You really know how to write a good article on the Andersonville Prison. Thank you for taking the time to write it. I am sure that I, as well as many other people, have enjoyed it quite thoroughly.
