Andersonville

Andersonville is the published 1912 address by J. Frank Hanly (1863-1920), the former governor of Indiana, delivered at the dedication of his state’s monument at the Andersonville prison site in Georgia. Hanly, an orator of the old high style who later ran for president on the Prohibition ticket, memorialises the Union prisoners who died in the Confederate stockade. Such dedication addresses are documents of how the Civil War generation’s children chose to remember it. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
