John Stevens Carlton

Headstone
Died at notorious Andersonville Prison during the Civil War

Andersonville National Cemetery, Andersonville, Macon, Georgia, USA

Notes: Sergeant Samuel Corthell, Company C, 4th Massachusetts Cavalry remembered:

"The camp was covered with vermin all over. You could not sit down anywhere. You might go and pick the lice all off of you, and sit down for a half a moment and get up and you would be covered with them. In between these two hills it was very swampy, all black mud, and where the filth was emptied it was all alive; there was a regular buzz there all the time, and it was covered with large white maggots."
