    023 - Part 21 Pension Bill February 16 1880 House of Representatives
    2026/01/06
    John L. Ransom served as the quartermaster for Company A, 9th Michigan Volunteer Cavalry during the American Civil War and endured the harrowing experience of being a Union prisoner at the notorious Andersonville prison in Georgia. This poignant diary, published a few years after the war, provides a vivid account of his life in captivity. Please note that pages 193 through 301 include two significant sections the List of the Dead and a Recapitulation of Deaths by States, which are not included in this LibriVox recording. The Andersonville National Historic Site now stands as a solemn tribute to the former Camp Sumter, highlighting the brutal conditions faced by prisoners. Commanded by Major Henry Wirz—who was later tried and executed for his actions—this camp was tragically overcrowded, with conditions that led to the deaths of nearly 13,000 of the 45,000 Union soldiers held there, primarily due to scurvy, diarrhea, and dysentery. Friends and family often provided vital support to help prisoners survive the ordeal. For further insights into Wirzs trial, you can also check out the Librivox recording Henry Wirz, Commander of Andersonville Confederate Prison Trial and Execution. - Summary by Wikipedia and David Wales
