A Death List of Andersonyille.


nearly 10 months, part of which time, from
the latter part of May, 64, to about Nov. Is,
"a, was spent as an assistant in the Anderson
vile hospital, having charge of tents Nos. 103
and 104. These tents, so-called, were flies, y
open all around, spread over ridge pole, the
back corners staked nearer the ground than
the front ones; so airy for patients that venti-
lation was not thought of. Between the dates
above given 81 sick soldiers were accommodated
in these two flies yet the two would only
hold PA would Overcrowd them-laying the
sick ones side by side. The ward of which
these tents were part was among those known
as the ordinary sick. " in which no gangren-
GUS. infectious or epidemic cases were admitted,
and these two tents had no more death rate
than any other tents Of like capacity in such
wards. Yet, out of those 81 patients admitted to
those two tents during time stated, the writer
attaches a list of 81 who died, were laid out
by him. and in many instances assisted to the
deadhouse. This list is taken from an old
diary in my possession, where they appear as
entered by me at the dates from time to time
as the deaths occurred. Aside from the publ
cation of the list as illustrative of the sad IA
tality among our old comrades in Southern
prisons and the narrow gauntlet run by the
survivors of them it may point some one who
will recognize among them the name of a friend
or relative:
