Books in Print and Internet Databases for those Looking for Missouri MenWhen surfing, I ran across a book in print concerning death records of Missouri Men. I then, decided to go a little further with this inquiry thinking that if there was one book concerning this special population, there may be others. This is what I found the further I went!! For those of you who have been looking and couldn't find what you were looking for concerning your Missouri ancestors, the book(s) and ISBN number that will be needed at the library for a potential interlibrary loan have been included if your library doesn't hold the book. Also, for those of you who are adventurous and willing to try your hand at using the internet, I have placed a url which takes you to Ancestry.com's List of all Databases which I have also listed that were Missouri's. I might add, there are databases for Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and all the other Confederate/Union states I've seen on this list...the more options open to you for finding information about ancestors, the easier to make those genealogical connections.

*** Civil War Readings ***
"800 Paces to Hell: Andersonville" by: John W. LynnMr. Kevin Frye's [Frye@gnat.net] ANDERSONVILLE POW SITE http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html whose website, "Is dedicated to those Americans who were imprisoned and died in captivity while in the service to our country", relates in detail not only the physical description of this infamous site but insights and infromation I had not seen before this time. I have always wanted to know more about this prison and to ask an intelligent question I needed to know more about his database and about Andersonville Prison itself!! I have found and read the book listed below, concerning this subject and felt that there must be others besides myself that didn't know as much as they would like to know about Andersonville Prison. Authentic details and there sources were given. Since this reading, I'm have another book about this very terrible place and will share that one with you later when I'm finished. The Southern gentleman, Dr. John W. Lynn, DDS, author of the book is a native of Petersburg, VA, in 1936, attended the University of North Carolina in 1957, with an A.B. in Chemistry, and a few years later received his degree from the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry. Having grown up within the historic Petersburg area where the Civil War was fought, he has become a trustee of Petersburg's Center Hill Museum and helped establish the medical display at the Petersburg's Siege Museum. Dr. Lynn is an active member of the A.P. Hill Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Virginia Historical Society, the Andersonville Society, the Richmond Civil War Round Table and the Confederate Stamp Alliance, and member of the Company of Military Historians. There are pictures, etchings, drawings, portraits of individuals in every phase that describes the prison and its subjects mentioned in each chapter I'm going to list below. This book uses small pieces of true or objective observations from which some are from two hundred sources written by ex-prisoners about their experience at Andersonville. Through Dr. Lynn's research he came across what he estimated as two hundred-page books that were so blatantly biased that by only a couple of paragraphs could qualify for inclusion in his book. Which leads me into this discussion about this book (and to read another on Andersonville)! For those of us who like documentation, information concerning medicine, hospitals, doctors, successful remedies, a realistic view of what the prison took on as the war was going on, when it ended, and what happen to those who had been in charge of the prison and prisoners.... this is the book that has it all! All documentations are at the bottom of each page of the book. These sources comes from state archives, special collections, museums state-wide; University libraries state-wide, holds university thesis, and documentation from relatives who had been there in the prison and relatives whose families had been involved with the trial of those who ran the prison. Ironically, Dr. Lynn turned over evidence through his research that the man referred to as the warden of Andersonville had like himself, earned a degree in dentistry in Maryland, before the war. It is one of the most interesting and well documented book I've read in a long time. Rhonda Houston 800 Paces to Hell: AndersonvilleThe following information comes from the Publisher of the book: Lynn's remarkable and thorough compilation and annotation brings to life the history, the horrors, and the dissolution of Andersonville Prison. Comprised primarily of hundreds of eye-witness accounts (thematically and chronologically arranged), this book emphasizes the struggles of those who survived their incarceration and of those who did not. Never before in Civil War literature has any book about Andersonville stressed the 'sickness' of this human stockyard from a medically trained perspective. Union prisoners died in droves from neglect, malnutrition, disease, and pestilence, and other maladies described herein. Here is a list of the chapter titles Dr. Lynn gives within his book: Chapter One - The Post and Its Early Personnel ******************************
