These pictures include some sketches done from first hand accounts. These images help frame the horrors of Andersonille. These images show the grim conditions that the Union soldiers were forced to live in. The only source of water, a creek running through the middle of the camp, is visible in some of these pictures. It is also notice able that there is no way to dispose of human waste in the camp. It was a hot bead of illness and parasites. Maggots and lice were supposedly as being everywhere in the camp.
