Re: The Anna Harden letter, an insight

Dennis,

Students of the Civil War often turn a blind eye to the Confederate side to the Andersonville prison. Thank you for helping me see another face of it.

I didn't know or forgot there was a sutler who catered to the prisoners, too. Also, I assumed the prisoners had no money since they had such a ragged appearance. I guess money is one of the last things a man lets out of his possession.
