Andersonville is the closest thing to Hell's deepest depths on the surface of the earth. And that's a good place for those men that run the place down there. But I'm only human. Hard to be forgiving for such treatment of American Servicemen. I'm not the judge, God is.

Caution- As I was entering this photo into my file for George Higley, I found the portrait already loaded for his son, John Rowe Higley, 72nd NY Infantry (shared by Lanny Nunn last August). Father & son, maybe they looked alike... alot alike:
