Birdseye view of infamous Andersonville Prison From the Southeast print mounted on linen backing. Bold colors, slight vertical crease on left side. 17x22". "Commanded by Captain Henry Wirz, who was tried and executed after the war for war crimes. The prison was overcrowded to four times its capacity, and had an inadequate water supply, inadequate food, and unsanitary conditions. Of the approximately 45,000 Union prisoners held at Camp Sumter during the war, nearly 13,000 died. The chief causes of death were scurvy, diarrhea and dysentery." from Wikipedia.
