    2. Brent Andersen
    3. Listers, The following url leads to a site which also contains much original information on the Andersonville Prison, the Prisoner Memorial and data on the area surrounding Andersonville. http://www.maconcountyga.org/ If you ever have the opportunity to visit the prison site and the memorial, together, they are one of the most stirring displays of human suffering I have ever experienced. It was quite a revelation to understand there were at one time over 32,000 men living on 26 acres of land within the stockade, of which only about 21 was actually not swamp. At the time, my wife, two foster kids, and I were living in Oregon on 21 acres in the country, so the display was quite poignant. This is but one small fact of many displayed. Brent Andersen
