“That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” …from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address
Some of the 13,000 plus graves from the Union soldiers that died at Andersonville prison during the 15 months it was in operation. This is a real horror story. The memorial is to the Pennsylvania soldiers. My great-great-grandfather, George Leasure, was one of those imprisoned for 13 months. He survived the war but died rather young a few years later.
