Could You Escape?It was very difficult for a prisoner to escape from Andersonville. Only a few

prisoners were able to escape and return home. An escaping prisoner had to travel

many miles through unfamiliar, enemy territory. Food was hard to find along theescape route and dogs tracked down the runaway prisoners.

Your goal is to help this escaped prisoner find his way home.

were allowed to write a message home. Write a letter to a relative or friend,describing how you are being treated and how you are feeling.
