My GGrandfather was a prisoner at Andersonville following his capture at Drury's Bluff, VA on May 16, 1864. I just inherited his diary from that time period, and it is an invaluable personal treasure. There are several entries prior to arriving at Andersonville, and few after. It is almost like some of the pages may have disappeared for some reason, before our obtaining the diary. He did record several prisoners' names and their regiments, and some, their death dates. There are several top quality sketches in the diary showing the sutler's store, the infirmary, and the hanging of the regulators. I just purchased a copy of a book about another soldier from his regiment who died at Andersonville. That book is "One Battle Too Many" by Richard P. Galloway, and is about his GGUncle, Simon Bolivar Hulbert. Pvt. Hulbert's name was in my GGr-father's diary. My GGrandfather was Cpl. Philip W. Morgan of Co. I, 100th NYSV. Would there be any information on him at the park? He did survive, but suffered the rest of his life for the conditions he endured, as did countless others. I'd be greatful on any information you could provide. Phil Brown <PBrown2438@aol.com>
