Of these twelve thousand nine hundred and twelve died there, to say nothing of thousands that died in other prisons in Georgia and the Carolinas, immediately after their removal from Andersonville.

One of every three and a-half men upon whom the gates of the Stockade closed never repassed them alive.
Twenty-nine per cent.

of the boys who so much as set foot in Andersonville died there.

Let it be kept in mind all the time, that the average stay of a prisoner there was not four months.

The great majority came in after the 1st of May, and left before the middle of September.
May 1, 1864, there were ten thousand four hundred and twenty-seven in the Stockade.
