Because several of you inquired yesterday that you were interested in buying the Andersonville CD-ROM that was only recently completed on contract for the Andersonville NHS, here is what creator Daryl Hutchinson says about the CD-ROM: ********************************************** The Andersonville CD is fully interactive allowing users to point and click their way through a timeline of the prison and the Civil War, the CD contains hundreds of historic photos and users may view the actual orientation video shown in the parks visitor center. The author has worked closely with park ranger Alan Marsh to assure historic accuracy, the CD will also be available at the POW Museum at Andersonville and at selected Civil War sites. The CD now available for the PC but will soon be available for the Mac also. Below are some of the topics covered in the CD.  Possibly the most important portion of the CD is the inclusion of the complete POW database containing the name, rank and cause of death of every soldier held at Andersonville. The database was compiled by the park staff and contains over 33,000 names.  A History of Andersonville Prison A month by month timeline with photos, maps and art on every screen beginning with the reason Andersonville was built and ending with the execution of Captain Wirz.  A Civil War Overview A historic timeline that progresses monthly from 1861 to 1865. The timeline includes many rare photos from the Library of Congress.  The Trial of Captain Wirz Includes testimony from the trial and many photos.  The Sultana disaster Includes photos and accounts from survivors and letters from those who survived Andersonville but perished in this tragic riverboat explosion that took more lives than the Titanic.  Prisons North and South Photos and information about many other prisons both north and south. Includes a history of Elmira prison in New York, a northern prison with a death rate that rivaled that of Andersonville.  POW Museum Photos of the newly opened POW museum, including photos of many of the exhibits. The POW section also lists names and information about POW camps from other wars including WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf.  Visiting Andersonville Includes park information (hours, activities), map and directions, addresses and phone numbers of local inns and restaurants, and information about other places to visit such as the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site.  Geneology, Bibliography, and Teaching Activities Includes information about locating your Civil War ancestor and many web links to important sites such as the Civil War Center. A listing of hundreds of books dealing with Andersonville and the Civil War and resources for teachers who want to teach students about Andersonville.  Archeology at Andersonville Photos of many of the artifacts found at the site and portions of the restored stockade walls. Photos and information are courtesy of SEAC, the Southeast Archaeology Center.  A History of Andersonville National Cemetery Begins with the arrival of the Clara Barton expedition. Includes many historic and recent photos, including that of the Raiders graves. Click on any section of the cemetery for a detailed description and photo. ******************************* Again, anyone interested in buying the CD should write me at: greg@rapidnet.com.
