Description |
Providence Spring, in the Prison Stockade at Andersonville, GA. Just as it was during the war. Charlie Louette, Mrs Graul's father. Some Civil War veterans, who survived after being held in Andersonville Prison, at the scene in later years. During the Civil War one of the "hell holes" was the Andersonville, Georgia Stockade for Union Prisoners. They were without proper shelter, food and water. One day there was a terrific thunderstorm and a spring gushed forth within the compound causing great relief and joy. Because they felt it was an act of God the men named it "Providence Spring". Many men grouped around stump and spring, a few women. Men wear hats, one has a camera. Large stump in foreground. |
