Where is Andersonville prison camp?
Near the town of Andersonville in southwest Georgia It was a horrible Civil War Prison Camp there was open-air stockade, enclosed by 20 foot-high log walls, grew to 26 acres, but remained horribly overcrowded and conditions became more and more intolerable. Running in the middle of the camp was a stagnant, befouled stream, absurdly named Sweet Water Branch, used as a sewer as well as for drinking and bathing. There were no barracks; prisoners were forbidden to construct shelters, and while some did erect tents and flimsy lean-tos, most were left fully exposed to the elements. Medical treatment was virtually nonexistent. Sounds like HELL! Nearly 13000 died there.......
Where there dogs in the Revolutionary War?
I didn't know the answer to this so I did a little research and found out that no dogs are listed as military dogs used in the war. People did have dogs as pets, but nothing I looked into mentioned them used in the war. I did find the use of dogs in the civil war as pets and guards for a prison camp. Custer is reported to have had several dogs with him and so did Robert E. Lee ( he also had a pet chicken that went everywhere with him). The prison dogs were used in Andersonville prison and were a 100+ pounds and stood over 3 feet tall. They were trained to bring down a man and mutilate him. There are eyewittness reports about the dogs. Since the civil war our military has used dogs.
