Andersonville, Ga.
If you ever get the chance, go to see the National Prisoner of War Museum at Andersonville, Ga., site of the infamous Confederate Prison Camp in 1864. There is a superb and moving exhibition of POW life in all America's wars there. The camp itself has one corner of the stockade that surrounded the camp built, plus the entry gates.
We went on a cold day in November, so it was difficult to imagine the stifling heat and the stench that pervaded the place in the Summer months of 1864, but the huge cemetary adjacent to the site tells the real story.
