[History Hounds] All Hope in Banished: Andersonville Prison in the Civil War with Erika McDowell, Historical Society of Michigan

Almost 15,000 Michigan soldiers died during the Civil War; a handful found themselves at Andersonville, the deadliest field in the entire war. Learn the history of the civil war prison camp, how it operated, and what life was like for the just over 2,000 Michigan men who walked through the stockade.
