Way off Topic ! Andersonville Movie On TV Tonight

My second grade teacher, at Joseph Clisby School in Macon, Georgia was Miss Hazel Gewinner. Her father was a guard at Andersonville as a result of his having been severely wounded early in the war. When MacKinley Kantor's novel came out, Miss Hazel was very upset. She told us many times that things were terrible both inside and outside the camp as the economy had colapsed and the Confederacy could not supply food and other supplies for their own troops. Somehow, I suspect there was a fair amount of truth in the old woman's words.
