Andersonville Prison, also known as Camp Sumter, was a Confederate military prison built in Georgia during the American Civil War. At the height of its fourteen months of operation, occupancy exceeded 45,000 - over four times the intended 10,000 prisoners - leading to overcrowding, malnutrition, and disease. The horrific conditions of the prison led to over 13,000 deaths, which have been documented in this publication, primarily sourced from The Soldier's Story of His Captivity at Andersonville, Belle Isle by Warren Lee Goss, 2nd Massachusetts Regiment of Heavy Artillery.
