How Newell Burch Survived Andersonville Prison, Among the First to Arrive and the Last to Leave
Newell Burch Didn’t Just Survive Andersonville Prison.
He actually made a difference in the lives of his fellow soldiers imprisoned with him. He improved the rations of the men around him.
He “cured” his own gangrene. He helped many others who were sick. At every turn, he exercised concern for his fellowman. Find out how
he accomplished all this in an unimaginable environment of filth and lack at Andersonville Prison. This is the amazing story of a man
who was among the first to arrive and the last to leave Andersonville and kept a first-hand account of his experience.

"The Confederate Andersonville Prison was a place that, said one prisoner on entering, “almost froze our blood with horror” — a place
so inhuman its commander was executed for war crimes. Not only did Burch live through it, but he kept a diary that survives to this day.
Incredibly, Dustyn Dubuque’s book is the first robust examination of that diary and of Burch’s story. His clear-eyed first telling of it
should catch the attention of both scholars and Civil War aficionados. But really, everyone should read it, so we can understand what hell
we went through to get here today."
Frank Smoot, author of Farm Life: A Century of Change for Farm Families and Their Neighbors.”
