He stated plainly that they suffered as badly as the prisoners. In reality,and per his last letter, Andersonville was a disaster from day 1 as the Hospital was upstream from the prison, therefore all waste, disease, and filth from amputations flowed right through the prison. In his last letter he said the pile outside of "arms and legs was a mile high" Lowry carried his little Testement and tried to carry himself by it"s teachings, walked out of Andersonville, sat under a tree and died' He left a wife and three very small children.
