Fantastic read
Well produced and a delight to listen to. Probably would be even if you hadn’t read it first.
Review of “Andersonville” by MacKinlay Kantor
I have been in the process of researching my Great Grandfather, James Ross Scadden, who entered Andersonville in late February, 1864 and left Andersonville in early April, 1865. According to his military records, he was admitted to the hospital the first week of September, 1864 and was returned to the stockade in January, 1865. In reading this book, it was exciting to see that my research into my heroic Great Grandfather’s survival as it relates to dates and events match up with those in this book. As far as writing a “review” of Kantor’s Andersonville, I will just say that I felt like I was standing beside my Great Grandfather who was only 19 at the time and was experiencing it with him albeit from the comfort of an easy chair. The book is a masterpiece.
