Private Hiram Terman was captured at Gettysburg, sent to Andersonville--and survived! What would that have been like? Max Terman, Hiram's descendant, revisits the camps, battlegrounds, and prisons. Based on over ten years of research, he writes as if he were Private Terman of the 82nd Ohio Infantry. From the numbing terror of the battlefield to the grinding misery of the prison camps--in this riveting first person account, you are there!
Author Max Terman stopped in the Georgia Room of the Augusta Public Library today. He was looking for a map of the old jail and railroad tracks in Savannah. Although he couldn't find what he was looking for, it was exciting to meet a new author. (Terman was in Augusta for a book signing and on his way to Savannah).
