I consider myself a history buff, even to the extent of traveling to Europe and Little Big Horn, to lay the Mark I eyeballs on the terrain.
The conduct of the CSA at Andersonville tarnishes the claims to have 'fought for an honorable cause'.
But there is one sure thing in this world; abuse US soldiers when their in a POW status is a sure path to wealth.

Its one of my goals to travel the West, and get to the Little Big Horn sometime in the next few years. I’ve been told its ‘way out in the middle of nowhere’....which means its pretty much as it was when Custer made his fatal errors in judgement.
