Vicksburg Murals Sultana Story

 Max Terman pointing to one of the Andersonville Sultana prisoners of war, Old Courthouse Museum in Vicksburg, Ms.

As astute readers of Hiram's Honor will note, one of the 82nd Ohio Andersonville prisoners is left behind only to face the horrors of the Sultana which exploded on the Mississippi River killing most of the people on the overcrowded steamer!  This story of an Andersonville-Sultana survivor is the subject of my next book and we were thrilled to see a mural of prisoners of war boarding the Sultana at Vicksburg.  The mural is part of a wall of paintings along the river front in Vicksburg.  We also visited with historians at Vicksburg Military Park and at the Old Courthouse Museum in downtown Vicksburg where we learned much about this tragic but surprisingly little known story of the Sultana.

Civil War Savannah

In Savannah we visited the Georgia Historical Society and found the likely location of the old prison camp for Union POW's (Forsythe Park), found the likely dock area in Savannah, and the prisoner exchange area on the Savannah River (Venus Point).  I was pleased that my accounts in Hiram's Honor matched up well with what we saw of the historical record in Savannah.

Augusta Georgia Civil War Roundtable

 Augusta Civil War Roundtable discussion, Descendant of Confederate soldier at the Round Table

We had the pleasure of telling the Augusta Georgia Civil War Roundtable about Hiram's Honor.  In the audience were descendants of both Union and Confederate soldiers and the discussion was enhanced by the perspectives of both.  Historic Augusta is now selling Hiram's Honor at the Woodrow Wilson Boyhood Home Gift Shop (http://www.wilsonboyhoodhome.org/)

Camp Lawton Georgia

A major part of our trip to Georgia was a visit to Camp Lawton, a Confederate prison camp near Millen, Georgia where my ancestor was held after Andersonville.  The prison camp is being studied by the archeology department at Georgia Southern University and we met the team doing this valuable study of a relatively pristine Civil War site.
