He was held for several months and then released on a trade or exchange of prisioners. He was then reassigned to another unit and endured the war safely. I have just viewed the Andersonville site and it is a good display. I live only about 30 miles from there and have viewed and vistied the Cemetery-Park many times. There is a lot of fable and untruths which are portrayed and some of it cannot be proven. Sad that such a place has to be marred with such as that. They have the fable that right at the moment of highest need for water that a spring suddenly gushed up and saved many of the Union soldiers from dying. This is a myth and cannot be proven. My unit of the SCV goes to Andersonville each year for a re=enactment and living history display and it is awesome. the candle light ceremony will put tears in the strongest persons eyes and is so dramatic! There is a candle for each person who paid the supreme price and as that person's name is called, the candle is snuffed out and afterawhile, there is total darkness and all the while, the drums are rolling. Wow, what an experience! Thanks again for all that you have done. I will be sending the list in this weekend for posting. Anytime that info comes up, send it to me and I will add to the list and send it in monthly. Jim Cone --------------9A0E54A8083CC1D50EE2D3AB--
