Andersonville Cemetery. On this 4th of July weekend, we took the Ghost-in-Laws to the historic Fort Sumter site where so many POWs lost their lives during the Civil War, most of their names carefully recorded and eventually published by Union soldier Dorence Atwater. The cemetery is still active and continues to inter the remains of American service people and their families. This haunting memorial stands at the entrance to the cemetery, inscribed with a verse from Zachariah: "Turn you to the stronghold ye prisoners of hope."
