Andersonville?

Not if he died the day of his release in Richmond. Andersonville is in southwest Georgia.

BRAZZAVILLE (Reuters) - A giant three-tiered mushroom which measures a yard across and was found in the tropical forests of the Republic of Congo has left experts in the capital Brazzaville scratching their heads.



"It's the first time we've ever seen a mushroom like this so it's difficult for us to classify. But we are going to determine what it is scientifically," Pierre Botaba, head of Congo's veterinary and zoology center, told reporters on Thursday.


The giant fungi stands 45 centimeters (18 inches) high and has three tiered caps on top of a broad stem. The bottom cap measures one meter across, the second one 60 cm and the top one is 24 cm wide, Botaba said.


The bizarre-looking mushroom was found in the village of Mvoula about 40 miles from Brazzaville and transported carefully to the capital by the local chief.

I'm not sure about that.. I thought Andersonville at first..but then thought of Richmond. I will have to look it up and see if I can find it in the book.

Just checked with Al.. He was kept in a prison in Richmond. Anyone know the name of the prison in that area?
