Providence Water at Andersonville Prison
A Civil War memoir recounts a mass surrender refusal to join rebel ranks, a march back through Andersonville gates, and a miraculous spring that appeared to relieve 35,000 Union prisoners. General John Winder and officers debated control of the spring as a Negro cart delivered barrels and spouts to cross the dead line, enabling vital water access and boosting prisoner morale. The author credits the spring with saving many lives and notes postwar efforts to honor the site with a Women’s Relief Corps deed.
