This book contains a multifaceted report about the Pennsylvania Monument at Andersonville, Georgia that was built in 1905. The monument honors the 1,849 Pennsylvania Union prisoners-of-war (POWs) who died at Andersonville Prison (Camp Sumter) during the American Civil War. The monument is a granite domed arcade that features a solemn bronze figure at the top who represents a POW. The monument also features a bronze relief sculpture on a plaque that shows POWs gathering fresh water from Providence Spring, a spring that had arisen from the parched earth, as if by an act of divine providence, and provided some respite for the POWs. Miller and Clark Granite and Monumental Works of Americus, Georgia had won the commission to design and build the monument (the company also collaborated with artists for specific parts of the monument). Each section within this book is relatively brief, but a variety of information is included. Any original historical materials quoted herein appear as printed text. The following are some of the contents: historical account and correspondence relating to the planning and commissioning of the monument; notable people in charge of the monument's planning and design; exercises observed at Andersonville, Georgia on December 7, 1905; speeches of noted military officers associated with the project such as Colonel James D. Walker, Harry White, Captain William H. Bricker, and Thomas J. Stewart; "Historical Incidents in Connection with Imprisonment of Union Soldiers at Andersonville, Georgia" (including an account by one of the members of an expedition sent to survey Andersonville Prison in July 1865 and accounts about the people who intervened to preserve Andersonville Prison and its cemetery where thousands of POWs were buried); "Roster of Applications Received at Adjutant General's Office, Harrisburg, PA., for Transportation to Andersonville, Georgia, Under Provision of Act of Assembly, Approved May 11, 1905"; and "Evidences of Causes of Mortality." Andersonville Prison was established in February 1864 by the Confederate government as a POW camp. Over the 14-month span of Andersonville Prison's existence, about 45,000 Union prisoners-of-war were held captive there and about 13,000 of them died. In the infamous summer of 1864, it is estimated that 100 Union POWs died every day from disease, exposure, or malnutrition. The camp was beset by overcrowding, inadequate shelter, and a lack of sanitation, potable water, food, and medical supplies. Andersonville Prison was shut down by the Union after the Confederacy's defeat in April 1865.…
