Depiction in popular culture addition[edit]

Andersonville National Historic SiteAndersonville Prison – This article is primarily about the prison, and secondarily about the National Historic Site. Ideally there would be another article about the latter, but in the meantime the title of this article should reflect its main topic. Short discussion along these lines occurred back in 2008 here. –CWenger (^@) 16:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]


The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

John McElroy[edit]

It should be added that another personal, first-hand account of a Union POW by the name of John McElroy (Private, Company L, 16th Illinois Cavalry) wrote a book of his time in Andersonville. It's titled "This Was Andersonville" and it was edited by Roy Meredith. Copyright 1957. Jmiddl12 (talk) 23:41, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

prisoner image[edit]

had the wrong notes on it all this time

The Library of Congress description for this image says "Erroneous caption on card: "Returned Federal prisoners from Andersonville prison."" LoC identifies the prisoner as having come from the prison at Belle Isle (Richmond, Virginia). I have therefore updated the description and renamed it on Commons, and removed it from this article. It's an important historical image but apparently not related to this specific topic. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:55, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
