Postcard

Dear Miss Smith,
     Today we visited Andersonville National Historic Site. Do you know that around twenty thousand Union men died there?It was sad that so many men died there. The Historic Prison Site is 26.5 acres outlined with double rows of white posts. Two sections of the stockade wall have been reconstructed, the north gate and the northeast corner. Opened in 1998,the Museum tells the stories of  prisoners of war throughout American History. It would have been hard if I had a family member who had gone there and died.

Til later,

-Christian
